Great place to take care of my cat for an emergency. His tail was de-gloved and required surgery. They were able to get him in and helped Tzar.

I can not say enough wonderful things about this place! Dr. Gordon is the best to our fur babies! She has seen our 3 wild pups for a couple of years now, and I am forever grateful for how caring and patient she is with them. We have a husky/shepherd mix and she is an absolute handful but she has always been so great with her. The entire staff has been so great to work with and I so appreciate them all!

I love this place so much. The vets always take the time to explain exactly what your pet has going on and what care they need. I switched from vca and noticed a huge step up in care for the pets. My cat recently had a surgery and the vet called me multiple times during the day to let me know how my pet was doing and how everything was going.

We've taken our German Shepherd Rex to Metropolitan Vet for years and they have always treated us and him so kindly. Last week we had to make the toughest decision to put our Rex down as he had just gotten too old to do much of anything. Because nothing catastrophic happened, we had a tough time making the call. Linda, our vet, was beyond supportive and reassured us multiple times that we were making the best decision for Rex, and we were doing the humane thing by not letting his health and quality of life diminish any further.

The staff at Met Vet have always been so polite and friendly, but we felt especially respected and cared for during this visit. We'll definitely be bringing our next dog here. The best vet in town, hands down!

Charlie has a tough time at the vet, and this team handles him like a champ. They keep us well informed, have a practical approach to pet ownership, and are generally a joy to work with. We love MetVet!

I took my cat to Metropolitan Veterinary when I got her in Feb. 2020, right before the pandemic. The location is very close to where I live and I had seen positive reviews. My cat has been there three times now. The first time, I was able to take her in and the last two I have waited in the parking lot while Dr. Gordon has examined her. The staff has always been helpful over the phone and when they have taken her out of my car into the office. Dr. Gordon has called me after the exam and explained things in terms that I can understand and she's very friendly before a staff member brings my cat back to the car. I hope by 2023, I can go in with her. I recommend Met Vet.

AMAZING VETS! I took my cats here for three years before I moved out of the area. As a broke new pet parent, the staff and vets were so patient and kind with me. They always broke down costs of treatments and visits upfront and explained everything thoroughly so that I could make informed decisions. Dr. Linda is absolutely the best - she truly cares and took the time to give me consults for my cats' problems over the phone so that I could decide when to come in for a visit. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

They are very professional. They were also very compassionate, patient and kind to my scared Great Dane puppy. Even though I could not go in because of COVID, I could tell my pup had a great experience by her demeanor after her check up. Huge difference from vet visits elsewhere. Thank you Metropolitan Vet!

I became a client at Met Vet approximately six months ago, after realizing I needed to switch away from a previous veterinarian who was negligent and honestly down right terrible. At the time I owned a 12 year old large breed dog, a 14 year old cat, and a 6 year old cat. My dog in particular had a number of complicated health issues related to her advancing age and my 14 year old cat was in need of an "old man" shave on his hind legs because he has slowly become a less effective groomer with age. Met Vet got us in for appointments for all three pets in a very quick amount of time for a new client during a world wide pandemic.

Their care of my pets has been exemplary. Not only did they care for both of my cats with expert skill, one of whom is quite shy and my previous vet refused to handle her alone, they also started my dog on a new medication regimen that significantly improved her quality of life (my previous vet simply said "Let us know when you're ready to put her down" whenever I had questions about if we could do more to make her life better).

This weekend my dog's health declined abruptly. Met Vet got us in for an appointment the very next morning at 9am, despite the fact that I was calling very late at night (right before they closed). They made every effort to assist us in supporting our aging dog, offering us a new medication option to see if that would help her improve. When it didn't, they supported us in finding home euthanasia care on a Saturday afternoon.

On Monday morning I received a call, unprompted, from the veterinarian who cared for my dog on Friday. She simply wanted to offer her condolences and check in with us to see if we were alright. Met Vet has astounded me with their care, compassion, and the way they go above and beyond for all of their patients and their owners. Thank you so much for making my dog's last months happy and as pain free as possible.

Dr. Neeson has been our cats' vet for 4+ years. She's hands-down the best veterinarian we've ever had. Thank you Dr. Neeson!

Incredibly helpful staff and really great actually interact/communicate with the vet. Took care of our pup on a short timeline and he is doing great. Appreciated them taking the time to explain the issue and walk us through dog care issues we didn't know about.

Excellent care and service here, I was able to make a prompt appointment for the next morning for my kitten Goose. We were seen right away upon arrival and all the staff were wonderful, we got a thorough explanation of all his prescriptions and care instructions.

I've been taking my kitty Tipsi to Met Vet for 6 years, they have always provided excellent service. This year my cat had a tumor that needed removal, I can't thank Dr. Gordon, Heather and other support staff enough for the care, support and reliable communication during this process. It made the experience an easier one on both myself and my Tipsi "toast"

Dr. Neeson and staff did a great job of getting my dog in for an appointment, and following up for after care. He needed stitches from a bite wound and is healing well! Thanks Met Vet!

We changed to them after our previous vet ignored signs of a urinary blockage that left my cat in an emergency vet office needing surgery. They have been amazing! We just got a kitten and established care for him here. They are patient, understanding, and treat my cats like family. I am very pleased. I recomend them to anyone with pets.

Metropolitan veterinary hospital has been my primary vet for my dogs for a few years. I can not recommend them enough. The staff is caring, professional and reliable. I have a hard time going anywhere else because I trust them so much. I make the drive from Olympia just to come out there. They will take great care of your fur babies.

There were a series of unfortunate events that made us come to the Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital. While this location is around the corner, when I moved to Tacoma, I was recommended to go to another vet in Lakewood by a friend. In December our poor baby Ari was diagnosed with lymphoma and had a pleural effusion. He was treated at the animal hospital, but we needed to find a closer vet so that he could be reassessed as his disease progressed.

We called and someone picked up the phone immediately (which is uncommon!), and was able to get us in. We met with Dr. Gordon who was thorough and developed a great plan for our little guy, which of course was difficult given the amount of variables in play. She answered a dozen questions calmly and honestly and never tried to get us off the phone even though I am sure she was busy.

Unfortunately he took a turn for the worse and we had to say goodbye on Friday. This was traumatic, but Dr. Gordon had the perfect mix of sympathy and empathy. She was so calm and peaceful and helped us every step that day. I am not sure if it could have been a more peaceful experience. Quite honestly I'm not sure if I have met someone with better bedside manners.

The front office staff all have pictures of their animals on the website. So this clinic is prioritizing employees that can relate to their patients. Gretchen was incredible with us that day as well. Thank you. I don't know if I could have any more complimentary words or recommend this place any more. I am grateful that they were able to give us some peace in such an awful situation.
