What is AAHA Accreditation?
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accredits veterinary hospitals that meet comprehensive standards for medical care, patient safety, anesthesia, pain management, cleanliness, medical records, and client communication. Accreditation is voluntary and demonstrates a commitment to providing exceptional veterinary medicine.
