No Longer Offering Cat Boarding
While we have thoroughly enjoyed caring for our boarders over the years, the utilization of this space has, regrettably, led to the decision to discontinue our cat boarding services. And, with COV1D restrictions already prohibiting boarding services for the foreseeable future, it makes sense to implement this plan as of now. Fortunately, we live in an area that is ripe with passionate pet care providers. Below are links to some local boarding providers, including a few who will come to the house, which is a great option for kitties who prefer the comforts of their own home while their owners are away. We want to thank each and every one of the boarders we have come to know and love over the years. You have all been purr-fectly delightful!

Featured Services
Wellness ExamsYour pet can benefit greatly from regular wellness examinations or checkups. Whether your pet is a youngster, a “senior citizen,” or any age in between, wellness examinations provide an excellent opportunity for us to conduct a thorough physical examination and develop a health profile for your pet. This information will help us identify medical problems
Dental CareDespite what many pet owners may believe, “dog breath” is not just a nuisance – it’s a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria leads to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet’s teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease.
SurgeryIn our continuing efforts to offer the highest quality veterinary medicine, Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital is pleased to provide a wide range of surgical services for our patients in Tacoma, WA, and surrounding areas. From routine surgical procedures, such as spaying and neutering, to more complex surgeries, we look forward to the opportunity to care
Our Clients Love Us!

The kindness and care that these lovely people have extended to my companions has me coming backJaycee Crosby

I became a client at Met Vet approximately six months ago, after realizing I needed to switch away from a previous veterinarian who was negligent and honestly down right terrible. At the time I owned a 12 year old large breed dog, a 14 year old cat, and a 6 year old cat. My dog in particular had a number of complicated health issues related to her advancing age and my 14 year old cat was in need of an "old man" shave on his hind legs because he has slowly become a less effective groomer with age. Met Vet got us in for appointments for all three pets in a very quick amount of time for a new client during a world wide pandemic. Their care of my pets has been exemplary. Not only did they care for both of my cats with expert skill, one of whom is quite shy and my previous vet refused to handle her alone, they also started my dog on a new medication regimen that significantly improved her quality of life (my previous vet simply said "Let us know when you're ready to put her down" whenever I had questions about if we could do more to make her life better). This weekend my dog's health declined abruptly. Met Vet got us in for an appointment the very next morning at 9am, despite the fact that I was calling very late at night (right before they closed). They made every effort to assist us in supporting our aging dog, offering us a new medication option to see if that would help her improve. When it didn't, they supported us in finding home euthanasia care on a Saturday afternoon. On Monday morning I received a call, unprompted, from the veterinarian who cared for my dog on Friday. She simply wanted to offer her condolences and check in with us to see if we were alright. Met Vet has astounded me with their care, compassion, and the way they go above and beyond for all of their patients and their owners. Thank you so much for making my dog's last months happy and as pain free as possible.Britannia Douglas
