We had to put our horse down and they handled the arrangements. It started with spring shots. The vet gave them to our horse (we were not there) but, told us that she was at the end of her life and nothing more we could do on pain management. So, we complained about having given the shots if we needed to instead put her down. They completely reimbursed us for that visit, more than just the shots. Management took great care of us. We had been using them since moving to NC in 2015.

Dr Fernando and his crew at 3H are an outstanding vet team. I am an avid eventer with two horses that need some maintenance. Dr Fernando has been able to identify issues and the best course of action to treat each horse. He is excellent at explaining the ins and outs, as well as the way forward for what is required to keep my horses performing their best. He is very responsive and always texts or calls back! Highly recommend him and am sad to be moving away from the area!

I'm so grateful to Dr. Gabby, her assistant Melissa and Dione, 3H Equines office manager for their undying support, professionalism and amazing veterinary skills. They have been so compassionate and cared immensely for my horses well being, as well as mine. I am indebted to you all!

Fernando Cardenas, and his group of excellent Veterinary Doctors, are amazing. 3H has been my vet since it opened and I have never for a moment thought of going elsewhere. I have had the good fortune of getting to know many of the 3H vets over the years. Each has been professional, knowledgeable, love their work, and a pleasure to know. The barns, areas, and pastures are meticulously maintained. A year ago we sold our farm of 39 years and moved to a smaller house with no pasture. Fernando let me board and treat my horse at 3H knowing well that my horse has severe COPD and made a lot of extra work for everyone! Noteworthy, NW, was checked on several times a day.

He was constantly needing meds, breathing therapy, and couldn't be around dust, he even was moved around the entire farm to help his breathing. No matter what his health circumstances were, Fernando and the team found a way to keep him comfortable. No one else would have done that. I am forever grateful for the high quality care, attention, and even affection The Team showed NW and me. PS my horse recently, finally, gratefully, went to horse heaven.
