How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Apex Vets
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I wish I could give them more stars. Our senior dog, Kaia, who has a history of seizures, experienced a particularly long one on Friday, January 5, 2024. We called several ERs, but Apex was the only one with space. Though hesitant because they were newer (at the time) and unfamiliar, I’m so grateful we went there. Kaia was admitted, and since she wasn’t stable enough to go home, Dr. Donati graciously stayed overnight with her (even though the clinic had closed at midnight). On Saturday morning, Dr. Roche followed up on Kaia’s condition and outlined our options. We took Kaia home with detailed care instructions while waiting for Apex's new MRI machine to get up and running. On Tuesday, Dr. Fry and his team provided a neuro consult and MRI scan. He explained the findings (a slightly enlarged pituitary gland but otherwise nothing notable like a tumor) and gave us options on Kaia's ongoing care. Dr. Fry answered every one of our questions and really helped us make informed decisions on Kaia’s short- and long-term care plan. We’re happy to report that Kaia has slowly bounced back from this episode and is doing well now, months later! This experience was incredibly emotional for our family, but the doctors and staff at Apex were kind, patient, and empathetic in every interaction. We could see how much they genuinely cared for Kaia. We’re eternally thankful for everyone at Apex Vets and cannot recommend them enough!

This was my first experience at a speciality clinic. I had a very fractious kitty come in this morning to see Dr.Fry that was experiencing seizures focal/grandpa seizures for the past 48 hours. As a manager of a nearby clinic I went in with every question possible of course and Dr. Fry answered them so thoroughly! The team were so kind and quick with getting us taken care of. I definitely will be recommending referrals to come to this hospital! Thank you for being so great guys! Minnie, Jess, I appreciate you guys!

Definitely recommend Apex Vets-I had to bring my dog in for an emergency and everyone was SO kind and supportive. She is at home now and recovering well. Huge thank you and shout out to Dr. Hawbecker, Nick, Gigi, and Catie!

When we lost our 18-month-old puppy, Apex Vets immediately stepped up to help after seeing a social media post about it. The kind woman who answered our call provided their email so we could send our lost dog poster and information right away. Stephanie, the Hospital Relations Director, went above and beyond, offering us encouragement and support during a very stressful time. We were reunited with our little dude after 54 hours. We are so grateful to this incredible and kind-hearted staff! If our pup ever needs pet specialty or emergency care, we know exactly where to go. Thank you, Apex Vets, for being incredible people! Highly recommend!

Nicest people ever. They rushed our doggie/best friend in. They treated her so well and took the time to inform both members of the family (one was traveling) about her condition. Unfortunately we had to put her down, but they were so caring and patient with us. We went at night and they gave us all the time we needed, then sent us a beautiful note by mail. Thank you to all the doctors and overnight nurses ❤️
