November is Pet Diabetes Month. This month aims to bring awareness to the growing prevalence of diabetes in dogs and cats. Obesity is one significant risk factor for the development of diabetes and as dogs and cats age, they may also develop other diseases that can result in diabetes. Untreated, diabetes mellitus can be fatal in dogs and cats.
You can learn more about diabetes in pets – here. If you believe your pet is experiencing any diabetic-related symptoms, please call us today!
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

Both me and my girlfriend had pets in our single lives and a plethura of different veterinarians. We as a couple just recently got two kittens! We took them in for their first round of shots and to be neutered and every single person working their operation was amazingly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about their Industry. The vets, techs, receptionist and everyone in between get a kudos from me and my family! You've made customers for life!Jonathan Delgado

I've been coming to Met Vet since I moved to Tacoma 5 years ago. I've been to a number of Vets in my time bouncing around but the Mets been the best. They love animals and will treat yours like it's a part of their family. Really what more can you ask for? My boxer is excited to go the vet she loves going there. I couldnt ask for a better experience. I've been unfortunate and been through a couple boxers in that time. However the Dr.'s I've seen them all, Vet Techs, front desk are all very caring, friendly and helpful going above and beyond to help. I've called on Friday afternoon for a Vet tech appointment and they've squeezed me in that day before the 4th despite being packed. I dont know what more one could ask for when looking for people to care for our family members.Jeremy Reed
