What is AAHA-accreditation?

Most pet owners do not know what it means for a veterinary hospital to be AAHA-accredited.  It means a lot about the care your pet will receive and the trust you can place in the accredited hospital.  It means that the accredited hospital, its doctors and staff have gone the extra mile to provide quality, caring, and professional services to you and your pet.

The American Animal Hospital Association is the only organization that accredits animal hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada.  AAHA-accredited hospitals voluntarily choose to be evaluated on over 800 standards in the following areas:  quality of care; diagnostic and pharmacy; management;medical records; and facility.  To promote healthier pets, AAHA has gathered its veterinary resources to create an extensive pet health care resource, HealthyPet.com.
