All over our hospital, we have the American Animal
Hospital Association logo posted. We
have the logo on our brochures, windows, reminder postcards, and even exam
table mats. That red and white logo
means a lot to us. Our accreditation by
AAHA is something we’re very proud of, but what does that
mean for your pet?
Accreditation is required by human hospitals, but
voluntary for animal hospitals. We have
voluntarily chosen to be accredited. The American Animal Hospital Association
is the only association in North American that provides accreditation to animal
hospitals.
To be accredited by AAHA, our hospital must show that we
provide an exceptional level of medical care and client service, and be
measured against the most rigorous standards in the veterinary industry. We are inspected by a representative of AAHA
every three years. We are evaluated on
AAHA’s Standards of Accreditation, which is an extensive list of more than 900
standards that directly correlate to the care we provide for pets. Some examples include:
- Medical records
- Pain management
- Diagnostic services
- Pharmacy
- Anesthesia
- Hospital cleanliness
Only 12% of animal hospitals in North America are
accredited by AAHA, and we are very proud to be one of them! We have been accredited since 2005.By choosing to take your pet to an AAHA accredited hospital, you can be assured that we are dedicated to providing your pet with the best medical care possible. Our veterinarians and staff believe that keeping pets healthy is our top priority. As a pet owner, you can expect to receive the highest quality care from a well-trained, professional team that cares for your pet like it was one of our own.
