San Luis Rey Equine Hospital

Recently my horse had an episode of colic in the middle of the night. My horse was down in the trailer when we arrived. The veterinarians and staff had my horse in surgery in what seemed like a few minutes after we arrived. My horse made it through surgery and was in a stall and letting everyone in the barn know that he was feeling better within 2 hours. Through his entire stay the staff provided excellent care to both my horse and myself. I was kept informed each day of his progress and they even sent me pictures so I could see him each day. My horse recovered without any problem and is doing great! San Luis Rey Equine Hospital is the only facility I will use for my horses care

This place is GREAT. I had an appointment with Dr. Joe Cannon for a lameness evaluation on a horse that I was interested in purchasing. However, this was a bit different then most scenarios. The horse was coming from Idaho, and was going to need to catch the bus back to Idaho that very same night if he did not meet Dr. Joe's approval in the exam. I was a nervous wreck because the arrival time was going to be very late from my appointment time. Dr. Cannon was very kind to still evaluate my horse for me, especially because it was hours past my appoinment. Everything was done in an efficient and timely manner. I love Dr. Cannon's ways of evaluating and making sure there are no problems with the horse. He goes over them with a fine tooth comb, however, he is so experienced, it takes him no time at all to find something if it is there. He did not waste any of my money on things to check or do that were not really necessary, considering his findings on the examination. I love this hospital! I will always use them as my veterinarians, for my every need. Thank you San Luis Rey and Dr. Joe.
