AAHA is the only organization in North America that inspects and evaluates veterinary hospitals. Since 1973, we have regularly undergone evaluations by AAHA to ensure that we comply with the association’s high-quality standards of veterinary care.
An AAHA-accredited veterinary practice gives the customer a peace of mind and the confidence that their pet will be taken care of with the highest standards possible.
Accreditation by AAHA means that an animal hospital has been evaluated on approximately 900 standards of veterinary excellence. To maintain their accreditation, hospitals undergo a rigorous review by veterinary experts every three years.
