October – Animal Safety & Protection
This month (and every month) is a time to recognize safety measures you should take to protect your pet and ensure they are healthy. Check out the below safety tips:
- Be proactive. Keep all your pets up to date on immunizations.
- Pet-proof your home. Remove or secure choking hazards and toxic chemicals. Make your home pet-friendly and safe.
- Identify your animals. Place tags securely on collars and even label collars with your contact information. If you have more uncommon pets, take pictures in the event they get loose.
- In a disaster, have a plan. Who will be responsible for locating each animal in the house? How will you transport them? If it is a fire, human life takes priority. However, place decals on windows and doors with the number of humans and each kind and number of pets residing in the home. Keep them up to date.
- Learn basic first aid. Caring for your animal at home will prevent a minor injury from becoming severe. Always call your veterinarian if you are unsure.
- Know your animal. If your animal’s behavior changes, watch for signs of illness. Is he injured or spent too much time in the heat? Contact your veterinarian before giving human over-the-counter medications.
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....
Our Clients Love Us!

I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have found Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Neesan is a wonderfully compassionate, patient, professional veterinarian who is always willing to take extra time to explain and care for our pets. We moved to Bremerton, but still travel to Tacoma to maintain the high level of care Dr. Neesan provides. If you’re looking for a vet, don’t hesitate, Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital is the place to go!
