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...

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? (Yea we've seen that on the internet... ) If so, check
