What Goes into an AAHA Accreditation
The American Animal Hospital Association, or AAHA, was founded in 1933 and remains the sole accrediting organization for companion animal hospitals. For an animal hospital to become accredited, it must undergo routine evaluations by AAHA experts every 3 years. Practices are evaluated on more than 900 rigorous standards of quality, which must be met or exceeded for accreditation to be maintained. These standards include customer service, pain management, medical techniques, sterilization of instruments, technology utilized, and much more. AAHA encourages animal hospitals to go above and beyond to exceed their clients’ expectations, and develop a positive, organized environment for everyone.
What an AAHA Accreditation Means for You and Your Pet
Animal hospitals do not require AAHA accreditation to operate–becoming accredited is purely voluntary. By choosing to become an accredited practice, we are expressing our complete commitment to our clients and their animal companion. We approach each patient as we would our own pet, and provide the elevated level of care we would expect for our own four-legged family members. Being AAHA-accredited is our way of promising our clients that they will always receive the best service we can offer.
