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.
