AAHA-accredited veterinary care in Pocatello, ID.
Did you know that accreditation for animal hospitals is voluntary? When it comes to veterinary hospitals, nearly 60% of pet owners assume theirs is accredited when it is not. In reality, only 12-15% of animal hospitals have completed the American Animal Hospital Association’s (AAHA) certification process. We take pride in being an AAHA-accredited hospital.
American Animal Hospital Association
Accreditation by AAHA means that an animal hospital has been evaluated on approximately 900 standards of veterinary excellence. To maintain their accreditation, hospitals undergo a rigorous review by veterinary experts every three years. State and provincial regulations can vary widely—in fact, some states don’t routinely inspect hospitals, only going in for an inspection when a complaint is filed by a pet owner. AAHA accreditation is considered the standard for veterinary excellence and does not vary between states or provinces (AAHA accredits hospitals in both the U.S. and Canada).
