Since 2012, The Animal Hospital has maintained AAHA accreditation, a distinction earned by only 15% of veterinary practices in the United States and Canada. This voluntary accreditation requires hospitals to meet more than 900 rigorous standards—including patient care, safety, anesthesia, surgery, and medical quality, to name a few. When you see the AAHA flag flying outside or our certificate displayed in the lobby, you can feel confident knowing that our team stays current with the latest clinical guidelines, delivers exceptional service at every visit, and provides the most advanced medical care available. Choosing an AAHA‑accredited hospital means your pet receives care from a team committed to the highest standards in veterinary medicine.

Each year, AAHA recognizes one veterinary hospital across the United States and Canada that demonstrates exceptional leadership, medical quality, and a commitment to elevating the profession. The AAHA Accredited Practice of the Year is the highest honor awarded to veterinary hospitals, celebrating practices that excel in:
Exceptional patient care supported by advanced medical standards
Exceptional patient care supported by advanced medical standards
Outstanding client service rooted in communication, compassion, and trust
Strong team collaboration and a thriving workplace culture
Innovation in veterinary medicine and practice management
Meaningful community engagement and education
Leadership in advancing the profession
In 2026, The Animal Hospital was selected as the AAHA Accredited Practice of the Year, chosen from more than 4,500 accredited hospitals across North America and Canada. This recognition reflects the dedication, compassion, and expertise our team brings to every patient and every client. We are honored to represent our community on this international stage and grateful for the trust that makes this achievement possible.
Thank you for trusting us with your beloved pets and for being a vital part of our family.
