Grit City Veterinary Surgical Center

Surgical care trusted by vets. Needed by pets. Built for your budget, without cutting corners. We provide high-quality surgical care for Pierce County’s pet families and the veterinary clinics that serve them. By focusing exclusively on surgery and operating with a low-overhead model, we make timely care more accessible without compromising safety, skill, or heart

Grit City Vet was built by Dr. Corey Michel, a general practice veterinarian with a special interest in surgery, which he did not discover until after vet school. Since then, he has worked as a relief veterinarian at a number of different veterinary clinics and started performing surgeries more frequently. His interest for surgery and compassion for pets only grew, leading to our founding. By only focusing on surgeries, we strive to provide full support to your primary and emergency veterinarians when it matters the most for your pets

Mission — We treat pets like family, partner with local vets as an extension of their care, and offer every animal a fighting chance because we believe access to surgery shouldn’t be out of reach when it matters most
