We go above and beyond for our patients.

Unlike human hospitals, veterinary hospitals are not required to be accredited in the U.S.

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only organization that accredits animal hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada. AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized as the best in the industry, and only 15% animal hospitals have achieved the high standards required for accreditation.

​Receiving accreditation means that an animal hospital chooses to be evaluated on 900 standards in the following areas: anesthesia, surgery, dentistry, pharmacy, laboratory, patient care, pain management, recordkeeping, cleanliness, disease prevention, client service, practice leadership, safety, and continuing education.

To practice the highest level of veterinary medicine possible, all AAHA-accredited hospitals must abide by specific protocols in these areas. As AAHA’s standards for accreditation are reviewed and updated to reflect new developments and advances in veterinary medicine, protocols within an accredited practice must also be continuously revised and improved to remain on the cutting edge and ensure the highest quality of care.
