Title: CAE testing timescale
Post by: Penninehillbilly on October 16, 2017, 11:47:58 pm
Anyone know what the turnaround time is for results from SAC?
Had goats tested last Tuesday and impatient for results, don't want to pester vet.

As said usually just over a week, but recent years can be up to 20 days and I have had to resort to email them directly which they then email your certificate pretty much next day. If not come in a couple of weeks ask your vet to contact them or email sac lab directly.Also check your certificate carefully as they have been making heaps of mistakes very unprofesssional, as they have been re typing the certificate instead of stamping and signing negative like they used to thence leaving out crucial information ie  well you no longer have your own vets signature for a start, date plus loads of mistakes. Loads of people this has been happening to since they closed sac inverness and now goes to sac st boswells.
