Why AAHA Accreditation Matters for Your Pet
Not all animal hospitals are created equal. In fact, only a handful of veterinary practices (less than 15%) in the U.S. and Canada are AAHA-accredited. Gained and held since 1979, this accreditation means we voluntarily meet or exceed over 900 rigorous standards in patient care, safety, cleanliness, technology, and client communication.
For pet parents, that translates to:
-
Safer procedures with advanced anesthesia monitoring
-
Accurate, efficient diagnostics for faster treatment
-
Thorough, compassionate care at every visit
-
Consistently high standards, year after year
At Community Veterinary Hospital, AAHA accreditation isn’t just a plaque on the wall; it’s a promise to provide nothing but the very best for you and your pet.
