What Is AAHA Accreditation?

As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we are proud to be Champions for Excellent Care. This means we hold ourselves to a higher standard—meeting up to 900 rigorous benchmarks that focus on the health, safety, and comfort of your pet. Pets are our passion, and keeping them healthy is our top priority. We strive to deliver exceptional care because pets deserve nothing less.

Today, only 12%–15% of veterinary practices in the United States and Canada achieve and maintain AAHA accreditation.

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only organization in North America that accredits veterinary practices. Hospitals that pursue accreditation are evaluated on strict quality standards covering every aspect of veterinary medicine—from pain management and patient care to anesthesia, surgery, team training, and medical recordkeeping. These standards are regularly updated, ensuring accredited hospitals remain at the forefront of veterinary medicine.

What Does This Mean for You and Your Pet?

It means your pet is receiving care at a hospital that is committed to the highest level of veterinary excellence. AAHA accreditation demonstrates that we continually invest in advanced medical protocols, ongoing team education, and the latest equipment and technology to provide the safest and most effective care possible.

Every three years, AAHA consultants visit our hospital to conduct an in-depth evaluation of our processes, facilities, and patient care. This comprehensive review ensures that we continue to meet nearly 900 standards of veterinary care and maintain our commitment to exceptional service.

When you choose an AAHA-accredited hospital, you can feel confident that your pet is receiving trusted, high-quality care in a safe and compassionate environment.
