In 2026, PetCare Clinic earned accreditation with the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). While excellent care and service for our patients and clients has always been our top priority, we knew we needed to go a step further and commit ourselves to setting a higher standard of medicine within our community. We believe that you and your pet deserve the very best we can give, and with our accreditation, we can truly do just that—every day.
Our AAHA Accreditation
SETTING A HIGHER STANDARD IN VETERINARY MEDICINE
The American Animal Hospital Association was established in 1933. Ever since, it has grown to encompass almost 4,000 animal practices in North America and has become a leading influence in the veterinary industry.
AAHA regularly produces peer-reviewed guidelines for everything from wellness care and surgery to vaccinations and dental care. These guidelines help veterinarians deliver the highest-quality care to their patients, and ensure that they are always kept informed of the best and latest practices.
What is AAHA?
Why Our Accreditation Matters
Only 15% of all veterinary practices in North America are AAHA accredited. This means that individual practices make the conscious decision to pursue accreditation, which requires meeting the 940 AAHA Standards of Accreditation.
At PetCare Clinic, we are proud to be AAHA accredited—a distinction earned by only a small percentage of veterinary practices in North America. This accreditation reflects our commitment to meeting rigorous standards that support high-quality veterinary medicine and exceptional client care.
AAHA standards cover nearly every part of hospital operations, including anesthesia, pain management, cleanliness, client communication, record keeping, safety, medical protocols, and more. By choosing to pursue accreditation, we hold ourselves accountable to a higher level of care for the pets and families we serve.
We believe veterinary care should feel supportive, personal, and as stress-free as possible. As an AAHA accredited clinic, our goal is to continually raise the standard of care in our community while providing a compassionate experience for every patient and client.
