January is Feline Awareness Month and while these furry pets can be low maintenance, they may have certain health requirements that need attention. If you have a feline friend at home or are thinking about adding one to your family, we recommend reading Cat Friendly’s article for tips on how to best care for your feline family member.
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

Lemme be clear first. It took me a while to come around on Metropolitan…but here’s where I’ve landed. A five star review! This place is wonderful and the care is wonderful. Without boring people of my story, I moved to Tacoma 3 1/2 years ago under fairly bad circumstances and it’s hard not to be jaded towards the city in such circumstances. But pets are with you through everything so their health as they get older is so important. Being from the south, culturally speaking, Seattle/Tacoma can feel incredibly foreign to me. It took me a while to figure out how locals communicate. It’s not less genuine but different. I also had an amazing connection with my vet back home and sometimes it’s really hard to let go of that and not compare everything else to the previous. In the case of, Dr. Neeson, I’ve learned her way of being is incredibly genuine AND insightful. At first I felt overwhelmed and couldn’t understand what she was telling me. However I was officially won over when I expressed my concerns and emotions about my cat. She met me halfway and helped me understand exactly what’s going on. Some of her follow up calls with me have been 25-30 minutes. How does she have time for anything else?! It’s really amazing. Then came the dental surgery. I was so nervous with the anesthesia but phone calls and constant reassurance we made it through. These instances built a relationship and now I couldn’t be happier making investments into my cat’s with her guidance. It wasn’t always rosey but I’ve come to love Met Vet. Thank you all for being so good. Tacoma, please take your pets here!Drew Greene

Three months ago my sweet Freckles had to be put down after a valiant fight against FIP. About 10 days before she passed, I brought her into Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital (MetVet) to have her seenJoshua V.
