What is an AAHA Accredited Animal Hospital?

What is an AAHA Accredited Animal Hospital?

MetroWest Veterinary Clinic is proud to follow and be a part of the American Animal Hospital Association's stringent veterinary service and care requirements (AAHA).


What is AAHA Accreditation?

AAHA is the only organization that accredits veterinary practices in the United States and Canada.

To earn accreditation from the AAHA, an animal hospital must meet a series of stringent quality standards covering all facets of veterinary medicine, from pain management and patient care to team training and medical record keeping.

AAHA accreditation is continuously updated and reevaluated to keep accredited hospitals at the forefront of the profession.

AAHA Guidelines

AAHA's cutting-edge, frequently updated guidelines assist veterinary professionals in meeting the demands of an ever-evolving industry and providing pets with the highest possible quality of care.

Appropriate healthcare recommendations for cats and dogs are constantly evolving, and AAHA guidelines assist veterinarians in developing evidence-based protocols for cats and dogs in their practices.

The AAHA's mission is to provide the most current, objective guidelines on clinically significant topics for the benefit of not only AAHA members and their patients and clients, but also for the entire veterinary profession.
