How to Save Money at Apollo Veterinary South Austin
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.

Quick, efficient and communicative! They kept Yzma in one room so we were always with her! They listened to our concerns with Yzma's weight and offered multiple possibilities and causes that we can look into! You can tell they really enjoy taking care of our pets! 4/7 Edit: We went back for Yzma's check up and the staff was just as quick and kind as the first visit. They effortlessly create an environment of genuine care. Dr Modak communicates directly about the problem, his interpretations and concerns, his recommended solution, and that those results will determine what direction we will move forward from there. Yzma was mostly concerned but never scared when she is in the exam room with the techs and Dr. Modak. She freely walks the room unless they need to do a quick procedure (that they do in the room with you, Yzma never leaves our sight). Our other cat is due for his old man check up so we will see how Kuzco will handle it!

Hands down the nicest clinic I have ever been to. The staff was incredibly welcoming and kind and made even my dog who is scared of all clinics so comfortable he was having a blast. They have an open concept so you can see your pet at all times. Dr.Mike Walker did an incredible job on this clinic. I HIGHLY recommend.

Highly recommend this vet! Today was our first visit. I was so joyful to see how much the doctor and veterinary technicians cared for my baby, but also the owners. lol (me). We were welcomed, they knew who we were, and greeted us as we walked in to our examination room. The staff was so friendly and reassuring! Dr Clair was a breath of fresh air. I was thankful when meeting her. She is kind, patient, gentle, very understanding and knowledgeable! I love how her position is permanent. No travelling doctors, or temporary doctors that I have experienced with at a prior vet locally. She is there consistently to care for our babies!! It’s important to me when you start care that if concerns arises, or medical emergencies, that the doctor has been there from the beginning to fully understand your animals needs!! I value that!! Thorough communication, peace of mind, clean modern environment! For me it all comes to trust, as my babies mean the absolute world to me! I trust them!! I am so excited to bring my other 2 in and find my home base for a vet locally! I moved here about 8 months ago and hadn’t been able to find that connection for a vet like I did within this first visit! I really appreciate the recommendation from my boyfriend’s friends, Greyson and Michelle! They brought their kitties to this vet as well :) I appreciate Dr Clair and Vianka. (I hope I spelled her name correctly) Thank you for making this visit go so smoothly!!

Wow, Apollo Vet excited our expectations. From the moment we walked in, we felt valued and care for. The concierge (Chrissy) and vet techs (Des and Griffin) were so kind, and the veterinarian (Dr. Landwehr) was thorough, patient, knowledgeable, and caring. They treated our pup with high-quality care. An added bonus is the layout of the office - it’s open and bright. For our nervous dog, having visibility outside of the room kept him calm. Very grateful to call Apollo Vet our go-to vet! 💛🐶🏥
