August – National Immunization Awareness Month
August is here, which means it's National Immunization Awareness Month! Just like us, it’s important for our pets to stay on top of their vaccines and immunizations. Celebrate by scheduling an appointment and making sure your furry best friend is healthy and up-to-date on their vaccinations.
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!

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....

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 seen due to some concerns with her health. Dr. Jeanne Neeson and I spoke on the phone during Freckles' first visit. She informed me of her initial results and a clear path to next measures. She would later inform me that she suspected FIP. The next day Freckles was brought back for an ultrasound and the suspected diagnosis was quickly the focus of her treatment. It would take a few days to cement this finding, but we were provided instructions on how to manage her care with the greatest empathy I've ever experienced with a veterinary practice. In the time before she passed, Dr. Neeson and literally everyone else at MetVet showed great amounts of compassion, love, and excruciating care in everything they do. They were all rooting for Freckles along the way. This continued through Freckles' passing and in the time after. Freckles' remains and other items of remembrance I received as part of the private ceremony were beyond my expectations. Because of the experience Freckles and I were provided, for as long as I can make it to MetVet, I will exclusively take any future pets to their practice. I will only recommend MetVet to friends, family, and anyone else that inquires. Simply put - if you want the absolute best care for your pet, take them to MetVet.

We needed to board our cat. For a few days and had never had to do so, so I was a bit apprehensive. Met Vet was recommended by our vet and they had good reviews so I decided to go with them. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They took great care of our kitty and it was very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them and would use them again if the need arises. Thanks Met Vet!
