Did you know that your senior dog or cat can get a yearly screening ultrasound as part of their wellness care?

At Apollo Veterinary, we offer a brief senior ultrasound scan for just $105 that can be done as part of your pet’s annual wellness visit.

We take a look at several of the major abdominal organs to screen for changes that may not be obvious from the outside or even show up on routine blood work.

Blood work is incredibly important, but it doesn’t tell us everything. Ultrasound gives us a different kind of information by letting us actually look at the size, shape, and appearance of internal organs.

And sometimes, that helps us find changes earlier, when we may have more options to monitor, manage, or treat them.

It’s one more tool we can use alongside your senior pet’s exam and blood work to get a more complete picture of their health.

Ask one of our veterinarians whether a senior screening ultrasound makes sense for your dog or cat at their next wellness visit.

Senior pet? Ask us about the $105 senior screening ultrasound at your next checkup.

Save this for your pet’s next wellness visit and share it with a senior pet parent.

“You need to get your pet into surgery today.”

That’s a sentence no pet owner expects to hear.

A swallowed foreign object. A bleeding splenic mass. A blocked male cat. Sometimes things happen fast, and suddenly your dog or cat needs surgery today or within the next 24 hours.

If you find yourself in that situation, call us.

At Apollo Vet, our doctors are trained to triage urgent cases and manage a wide range of emergency surgical situations. Between our two locations and our full medical team, we do everything we can to accommodate same day or urgent surgeries when our schedule, staffing, and your pet’s medical needs allow.

We can’t guarantee that every emergency can be managed at Apollo, and there are situations where an emergency or specialty hospital is absolutely the right place for your pet. But when we’re open, we want our clients to know that the ER isn’t automatically the only option.

Even if you’re already at an emergency hospital and find out your pet needs surgery, you can always give us a call. We’ll review the situation and see whether our team can safely help.

Our goal is simple: when possible, keep your pet with the veterinary team you already know and trust. ❤️

📞 If your pet is facing an urgent surgical situation, call either Apollo Vet location so our team can help determine the best next step.

Save this so you know your options if you ever need them, and share it with another pet parent. 🐾

Meet the Xoloitzcuintli (Xolo for short) — the dog that said, “Who needs a fur coat?”

This ancient Mexican breed has been around for thousands of years and is best known for its iconic hairless look (although coated Xolos exist too!).

A few things that make Xolos extra interesting:

They come in toy, miniature, and standard sizes.
Hairless Xolos need thoughtful skin and sun care.
Their hairlessness is genetically linked with differences in their teeth.
They’re known for forming strong bonds with their people.

Ancient, elegant, and just a little naked.

Save this for your next dog-breed trivia moment, and follow for more pet facts explained by a veterinarian.

At Apollo Vet, onboarding isn’t just about learning how we do things. It’s about investing in the doctor you’re becoming. 🩺

That’s why training and mentorship are built into how we practice.

We have a dedicated doctor on staff focused on helping our veterinarians continue to grow their clinical skills, whether you’re a brand-new grad or an experienced veterinarian who wants to keep expanding what you can do.

That can look like hands-on ultrasound training, working through challenging cases together, sharpening diagnostic skills, or building confidence in surgery.

And if you’re a new veterinarian joining Apollo? You’re paired with another vet in surgery until you’re fully comfortable operating on your own. There’s no arbitrary timeline and no expectation that you should already know everything.

Because mentorship shouldn’t end when onboarding does.

We want our doctors to keep learning, asking questions, practicing new skills, and becoming better clinicians throughout their careers.

Better-supported doctors → better medicine → better care for our patients. 🚀

If you’re a veterinarian, what’s one clinical skill you wish you’d had more mentorship with early in your career?

One of the most common questions I get is, “When can we stop vaccinating our puppy?”

The answer for most puppies is 15–16 weeks of age.

Here’s why: puppies are born with antibodies from their mom that help protect them early in life. Those same antibodies can also block vaccines from working, which is why we don’t rely on just one puppy vaccine.

By continuing the vaccine series until 15–16 weeks, we have a high degree of confidence that those maternal antibodies have worn off. That means your puppy’s immune system can respond properly to the vaccine and build strong, long-lasting protection.

It’s not about giving “extra” vaccines, it’s about making sure the vaccines actually work.

Every puppy is a little different, so follow the schedule your veterinarian recommends and don’t skip those final boosters. They may be the most important ones.
