How to Save Money at Apollo Veterinary
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

We have been with Apollo for the past 8 months and we love bringing our pups here! The staff is amazing and they genuinely care about their patients. They explain our options and always let us know the cost upfront. Our puppy loves coming to the vet!! If you want a veterinary team that takes care of your pets like they were their own and that takes the time to get to know you and your pet Apollo is the place for you and your fur babies ❤️

It's Sunday and my puppy got this 🦴 stuck in her Jaw. I called every Animal Hospital in a 100 mile radius and Apollo was the only could see me that day! Ten minutes after we arrived we were on our way home! I thought this was going to cost an ATM and a leg but it was very reasonable and everyone was so friendly. My puppy was so happy to get that bone unstuck from her jaw. Thanks Apollo!

I will start this review by stating the other reviewers on on point! Apollo is absolutely amazing, and very reasonably priced especially for an emergency care VET. Our 3.5lb Pomeranian was throwing up blood (and of course it happened on a sunday). They got her in immediately and took amazing care of her. They are 50 min from our house, but so worth the drive. Not only are we going to use them for future emergency care, we are going to transfer both of our dogs over to their care for routine checkups etc. Thanks Apollo for caring about our furbabies as much as we do!

What an honor to get to share my opinion on Apollo Veterinary! This place makes you feel good just driving up to it! Once inside everyone is so kind and there’s no doubt that your pet is about to get all the lovin and care he/she needs. I’ve experienced a few urgent situations and several regular check ups… each time nothing but the greatest of care! I’m confident every time with the treatment received. It is a pleasure to recommend Apollo Veterinary!

I absolutely LOVED my first visit to Apollo Veterinary. My dog loves people but he REALLY loved being here today. I let them know that he is dog aggressive and I was worried about getting him inside and the receptionist was very accommodating as well as the vet techs and Dr. Walker. Bennie had a blast the whole time (especially when the peanut butter was brought out, he was very excited that he got to eat the first scoop out of a new container). Dr. Walker answered all of my questions, addressed my concerns and let me know that they are here to help as much as they can which I appreciated. Dr. Walker as well as the staff were very educated, informative and comforting throughout the whole appointment. I can’t say enough great things. I will definitely be coming back. It was well worth the 40 min drive from south Austin!
