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 Exams
Your 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 Care
Despite 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....
Our Clients Love Us!

The Metropolitan Animal Hospital is the BEST vet office I’ve ever used. We recently moved to Tacoma and established care here soon after, although neither of our dogs needed to be seen initially. Our dog Bones was bitten by a brown recluse spider which eroded much of his tissue on one of his hind feet requiring several surgeries at a different emergency veterinarian hospital. Bones was slated to need MONTHS of follow up care and this is where Metropolitan comes in. From day one they treated us as if we had been long time customers. Bones was left with a massive open wound on his foot requiring a special bandage that needed to be changed every 48hrs for the first month or so. The healing process took about 3 months in total and required somewhere between 30-40 visits to the vet. As you can imagine, the entire ordeal was incredibly expensive, but Metropolitan bought the bandages in bulk specifically for Bones and brought the price down from $120/per bandage change to around $25. This really impressed me for a number of reasons, the first being that we were completely new clients whom they didn’t know personally yet still offered help. Second, we could have easily been a cash cow - we were committed to seeing our boy fully healed and would have done anything to see that through, yet they strove to make things as easy on us as possible. Most importantly, the staff at Metropolitan are INCREDIBLE. Every single one of them greeted Bones by name each time we came in and seemed to be sincerely invested in his care and wellbeing. I think we met just about every single staff member during those three months and all of them were an absolute delight, I won’t say any names because I can’t remember them all and I don’t want to leave anyone out! I will continue to praise Metropolitan to everyone I know. Trust me, you will not regret establishing care for your beloved fur kids here - it is truly top notch. Thank you to all of the staff at Metropolitan Vet Hospital, you guys are the best!
