In-House Coggins Testing in Mart, Texas
Due to the large number of shows, fairs, trail rides, and other events involving horses, make sure that Coggins tests are up to date and current for all of the horses you use for these events. Don’t forget about horses and other equidae taken out of state for hunting purposes.
We offer two types of in-house Coggins tests for horses:
- Overnight test (AGID) — call for an appointment
- 2-hour test, or Quick test (SA-ELISA) — call for an appointment
Because our Coggins lab is in-house, we’re able to turn results around quickly, which can be especially helpful when you’re preparing for an upcoming show, fair, trail ride, or out-of-state trip. Call us at (254) 876-2552 to schedule your horse’s Coggins test, or ask about our other veterinary services while you’re here.
