Low Cost Vet Care Resources in The Twin Cities

The increasing cost of vet care forces many families to make a heartbreaking choice between their pet's health and financial stability.

At The Bond Between, we see these impossible situations daily. That's why we stay true to our mission-

We wake up every morning saying yes to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

To support this, we host low-cost Pop-up wellness clinics every month on the third Sunday, offering affordable services like vaccines, microchips, and nail trims.

Please refer to the The Bond Between Calendar for the Pop-up Clinic dates and time. 

The Pop-Up Wellness clinic is for vaccines, microchips, and nail trims ONLY. We cannot see animals with medical concerns. We encourage you to utilize the resources listed below for other low cost vet care clinics in Twin Cities that can help your pet with other illnesses. You can contact them directly to confirm eligibility requirements and obtain the most up-to-date information on their services.
