It's with sadness (but excitement too!) that we say goodbye to one of our beloved vet assistants MEGHAN. Through out the past 3 years she has been a bright spot in each of our days. She has been game, brave, efficient and FUN! But it's time for her to fledge our nest. We will miss her in our work days but know we will see her around town.
Here is a message from Meghan:
"It has been an absolute honor to work for SAVE. This group puts so much effort and dedication into caring for our equine and other livestock. I am so grateful to have been part of such a wonderful team, but am moving on to work with the Woods Family! I am so excited for this new adventure, while seeing new and also familiar faces in the Woods Hay and Grain building. I will be learning about nutrition, as well as running the equipment to set you off with your feed."
GOOD LUCK MEGHAN!!! The Woods are gaining a great new member to their family!!

Going on the road this summer? Maybe you saw some trailers being pulled over? Not sure what "Paper work" you need to be legal? We can help.

In the USA, in order to cross state lines, a horse legally needs a negative coggins test within 12 months, a health certificate, and a brand inspection.

💉Coggins is the name of the test for the disease Equine Infectious Anemia. This disease can be spread from horse to horse through needles, and blood sucking insects. There is no cure for it and if the horse does survive, since they are carriers for the rest of their lives, most of them are euthanized or they have to follow very specific guidlines when it comes to housing.

📄The health certificate can come in two forms. One is a basic health certificate which is like an air plane ticket. It's good for 30 days to 1 location. You go to the location and come back. Another option is the Extended Equine Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (commonly refered to as a "passport") which is a certificate that is good for 6 months. With this certificate, owners log onto GlobalVet link and list where they are going.

🎖The last peice is the brand inspection. This will varry from state to state but for the state of ID and MT they are required. In ID there are officers called Brand inspectors and they are the people that will be able to help you get that paperwork.

At SAVE we can get you hooked up with a coggins test and either a Health certificate or EECVI. Don't live in our call range? We do allow some haul ins to Sandpoint and Sagle.

TL,DR: You need a coggins, either a health cert or EECVI, and a brand inspection.

Call us today if you need to get road legal for this summer.

Did you know SAVE has an online pharmacy? If you are a client that we have seen within the last year, you are able to order online andwe can approve with a click of the mouse. Other pharmacies we work with include Chewy and Valley Vet.

Unfortunately some pharmacies are much more difficult to work with and cause our office staff to be on hold with them multiple times a day or in some cases, the pharmacies themselves are slow to respond and may not ship medications for over a week even though they were approved. Due to the difficulty of trying to work with these pharmacies, we will be charging a fee. If you are using tractor supply pharmacy, California pet pharmacy, or pet choice pharmacy, there will be an additional cost because these pharmacies are difficult to work with and tie up our phones and office staff.

There are many options for online pharmacies. We have one on our website and we work well with Valkey vet and Chewy of needed.
