About Vet

Hello! My name is Dr. Cristina Metral. I completed my undergraduate degree in Zoology at the University of Florida (go gators!), and I earned my veterinary degree from St. George’s University. Since then, I have practiced as a small animal veterinarian in the Tampa/Clearwater area. I love working with all types of animals, including exotic species, and I am very passionate about making veterinary medicine more accessible to everyone. On my off time, I enjoy watching Netflix and cuddling with my own orange kitty named Zazu 🐱

Due to Florida legislature, I cannot prescribe medications through telemedicine.

Dr Metral is very knowledgeable, pleasant and professional. She answered several questions we had about our dog. She knew details about our breed that helped us understand the issues and how to resolve them. She also answered questions we had about wild animals living around our property & how to live cohesively with them. We highly recommend her and will use her in the future.

She was very kind and patient. She was attentive to my pets needs and was even able to help me with the behavioral issues associated with Eris' issues. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Dr Metral!

Dr. Metral was very caring when discussing the health of my cat. She let me know any next steps needed if my cat’s condition persisted. Overall, I am happy I spoke with her to ease any worries I had.
