The Importance of Health Certificates and Coggins Testing

Health certificates are necessary for transporting and selling animals, ensuring they are healthy and free of contagious diseases. These documents show that your animals are free of illness and healthy.

In addition to health certificates, your horses may need an up-to-date Coggins test to transport them from state to state. Coggins testing is a specific blood test that detects the presence of Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease in horses. A negative Coggins test is often required for horse shows, sales, and interstate travel.
