Dr. Forras saw both my cats on two separate occasions. She was extremely patient and kind with both of them who are very fearful of new people. She’s also extremely intuitive and knows when and how to approach pets and even used reiki to help calm them. I can honestly say that these were the best vet appointments (at home or in a clinic) that we have ever had. I’m super stoked how well these visits went!

We had the best experience with Dr. Christina Forras at Spirit Vet ATX House Calls & Consulting. We have a semi-feral, special needs cats that is really difficult to transport to a vet. Our previous mobile vet went out of business with no notification and we were in a real bind needing our cat's medication refilled immediately. Dr. Forras was able to travel to us the day after I reached out and was amazing with our kitty. She even managed to pet our cat (no other vet has been able to do that!). Dr. Forras has a wonderful calm nature and all of our three cats really took to her. I am so grateful we found her (and our cats are too!). She even gave us a ton of helpful hints and food options to help make our kitties more healthy and happier 😻.

We had one of the most pleasant home visits from Dr. Christina Forras. My partner and I are first time puppy owners so you can imagine we've been learning a lot and can be a bit paranoid about every little thing that happens. Our puppy, Presley, just got back from a 3 week board and train and was showing signs of something we've never experienced. She was sneezing and often sounded like she was going to hack something up. My partner let me know while I was at work on Saturday that she started throwing up bile so we knew she needed to see a professional asap. I knew it was going to be difficult to find a vet mid day on a Saturday but I called every number I could find. Thankfully Dr. Forras shot me a text and was able to call me back pretty quickly. I honestly did not think it would be possible to get Presley into a vet until Monday but I am so happy Dr. Forras was able to come the very next day and see Presley. She had such a calming aura and thoroughly answered all of our questions. She also texted regularly to check up on Presley and even made her a song playlist that I use at least once a week to calm her down. I've already recommended and passed Dr. Forras' info to a client of mine and will definitely be using her in the future.

I have had the great pleasure of having Dr Christina Forras treat one of my pets. Back in October 2021 Dolly, my toy fox terrier was suffering from a bleeding cyst that formed on her tail. She was leaving a bloody trail through out our house. And she could not help but to gnaw at her tail because of the discomfort and pain. To add to the matter my household was recovering from the flu that we were isolating ourselves and couldn’t take Dolly to the Vet. We were pretty desperate for help being that we were honestly exhausted with or own health. Timing is everything and thankfully Dr Christina Forras was a House call away. She was able to help treat and mend my Dolly back to good health. She handle Dolly with a calmness and gentleness that I was quite surprise that Dolly didn’t nip her being that Dolly can be irritable with strangers. She prescribed meds and recommend lots of advice on post care. She did an excellent job! A great thanks to Dr Christina Forras for helping us get Dolly better! She has my recommendation.
