The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only organization that accredits veterinary practices and hospitals in the U.S. and Canada.
Accreditation is Voluntary
Veterinary practices and hospitals who are AAHA-accredited have voluntarily agreed to adhere to the highest standards of excellence in the profession. AAHA Standards are developed by experts in the field and are updated regularly to help vets and their teams stay on top of the latest medicine and manage their practices well.
How did we get AAHA-Accredited?
AAHA-accredited practices are evaluated on stringent quality standards that encompass all aspects of veterinary medicine—from pain management and patient care to team training and medical recordkeeping. AAHA’s standards are continuously updated to keep accredited practice teams at the forefront of the profession. Learn more about AAHA standards.

We simplify their journey towards excellence. We want your veterinarian to be happy, healthy, and on top of the latest innovations in veterinary medicine.
