AAHA Logo

The American Animal Hospital Association is the only trusted evaluator of veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada. As an AAHA-accredited hospital since 1983, we voluntarily uphold the association’s high standards in 18 areas, including patient care, cleanliness, and emergency services. Only about 15% of veterinary hospitals meet the evaluation’s high standards and carry this accreditation. We are very proud to be one of them.
