About AAHA Accreditation
Setting the Standard in Care
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is an international organization representing more than 36,000 veterinary professionals who care for companion animals. Founded in 1933, AAHA is recognized for setting some of the highest standards in veterinary medicine.
AAHA is the only organization that accredits animal hospitals in the United States and Canada. Hospitals that pursue accreditation voluntarily undergo a comprehensive evaluation of more than 900 standards covering patient care, diagnostics, pharmacy, medical records, management, and facility operations. Regular onsite reviews ensure continued compliance with these rigorous benchmarks.
Accreditation helps veterinary practices stay at the forefront of modern medicine while delivering the high-quality care pets and families deserve.
