What is AAHA?

​

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only organization that accredits veterinary practices and hospitals in the U.S. and Canada.

 What does being AAHA accredited mean?

​

AAHA accreditation signifies that your veterinary practice has met or exceeded stringent quality standards that encompass all aspects of veterinary medicine, from pain management to medical record-keeping, and has committed to a path of continuous improvement. Only 12% to 15% out of all the animal hospitals in the USA and Canada are accredited. Obtaining accreditation is completely voluntary.
