Location: SW North Dakota | I've used the same vet for 20+ years. She used to to healths for free, as I had all the coggins and vaccinations done with her clinic (I spent $5000+ each year with pets and horses- all vax, castrations, coggins, etc). A couple years ago, she hired a young vet and the prices have doubled or tripled for almost every service and I now pay $30 for each health. Which isn't a biggie, except everything else is soooo frikken expensive (and the new vet is a know-it-all who doesn't). I've jumped ship and have our cow vet do the coggins and healths now and pay him $20 and normal prices for everything else. It's not a big deal, as I didn't take anything too serious to my original vet anyway. |

| HA!!! I have you all beat. I had to pay $95 once. $35 for the health and $60 for the call charge after I said I’d come to his house. He told me he was in my area and would just drop in. Then he charged me a call fee. I fired him after that.
Average is $25-$35. We make sure to map out all the places we’ll be going on that health paper so we can get full use of it, lol! |

| I spend $55 just to get the vet to my driveway. I try to bunch services so it spreads that cost across them. A health cert here is $40. So, if that's all I need it is $95. Don't feel bad Whiteboy!

Location: East Texas | a couple of ya'll mentioned, but is that cost per horse? Most times we are hauling multiple horses and I hate giving a vet $100 to say we are good to go.....last time he did not even look at them and just handed me my papers and a bill. |

My $30 was cost per horse.
Georgia (not sure if other states do it also), offers a six month event permit also. Once you get a health certificate on a horse, you mail a certified copy of it in to the State with a copy of the coggins and they will give you a 6 month health certificate for free.

I charge per health paper written- if all horses are going to the same place and they all can go on the same health paper I will charge $15. If you are going 2 separate places and need 2 separate health papers I would charge $30 ($15 per paper). |

| My vet just went up and I'm not real happy about it. 33.00 for first horse and 28.00 each additional, so a total of 61.00 for cert and 70.00 each for coggins ( $140). SO its costing me 206.00 to take both my horses to AZ where they probably won't check anyway!  |

Do they use the GlobalVet Link forms or are they handwritten? The vet I work for charges the same for healths but our AGID coggins are only $37. ELISA (expedited) coggins are $67. We use Antech labs & GlobalVet Link forms. Antech keeps the prices down on the coggins costs, but GVL adds a little bit to the health cert costs. I do like how neat and clean the GVL forms are, with actual photos of the horse, and the fact that I can just email a pdf version of both coggins and health certificates to clients that they can print out at home. Plus they can save the pdf and just reprint it if they lose any paperwork. So I can understand charging a little more for that convienance. I can see charging less for handwritten forms. I think $70 for a normal coggins is really steep though. |

1 he's the only large animal vet for about 3-4 hours  . It includes the farm call and coggins but yeah I only get them when I absolutely need one (health paper). If its multiple horses he just doesn't charge you another farm fee. |

| I just got an updated coggins & Health cert and it cost $107 this time. And I thought $65 was high. I should have went to vet school. |
