Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on ours.

Or DOES IT? Remember...
after-hours are when we charge emergency fees!

Lockwood EIA Lab

Mark Anderson, VT.,
Director


We offer EIA "Coggins" testing for traveling horses using the ELISA test.

Our Coggins test schedule:

ELISA Test batches are regularly scheduled to run Mon-Fri at 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. Results are then available at 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm respectfully.

Horses do need an appointment and must be at the clinic for blood to be drawn a minimum of 30 minutes before the next test batch is scheduled to run.


To avoid any extra fees, make an appointment to bring your horses by the clinic during any of our regular business hours (including Saturday)... it will save you time and money to plan ahead!

WE DO understand that...

Manure Happens.

HOWEVER... just to warn you in advance: If you need Coggins test results sooner than the next scheduled test batch, there will be a $20 rush fee.

Saturdays. (see schedule on homepage). We do NOT schedule Elisa tests on Saturday. The blood may be drawn on a Saturday (with an appointment) for the regular fee. But if you need test results on a Saturday, or outside our regular business hours (emergency hours), a $35 tech fee will be assessed along with the rush/emergency fees.

Yes, we are a same-day EIA Lab, and yes we can have Coggins test results done in an hour... but not ALL hours, every hour! In other words, we do not keep EIA techs on call ready to run tests any time someone shows up unannounced and requests one. So! Help us help you better! Thank You!

Tired of jumping through all those bureaucratic hoops getting Health Certificates every month, and Coggins tests every 6 to 12 months? figure you won't get stopped, why bother? Think it's a waste of money, or maybe even a conspiracy?
