AAHA
Nearly 60% of pet owners think their veterinary hospital is accredited when it is not. AAHA-accredited hospitals are the only animal hospitals to regularly pass onsite evaluations based on more than 900 standards of veterinary care, from pain management to medical record-keeping, and have committed to a path of continuous improvement.
AAHA Accreditation Standards
To achieve AAHA accreditation, a veterinary hospital must meet or exceed hundreds of standards covering all aspects of veterinary care and business. These standards are continually updated to keep pace with advancements in veterinary medicine, ensuring that accredited hospitals remain at the forefront of the profession.
Benefits of LIVS Being AAHA Accredited
AAHA accreditation signifies a commitment to exceptional pet care. As an AAHA-accredited practice, we adhere to the highest standards in veterinary medicine, emphasizing both the health and happiness of your pet. Our accreditation is a testament to our dedication, demonstrated through rigorous evaluations and ongoing adherence to AAHA’s criteria.
With only 15% of veterinary practices in the U.S. and Canada holding AAHA accreditation, it highlights our ability to meet these demanding standards. At LIVS, AAHA standards guide our practice, defining our commitment to quality and shaping our brand’s reputation. We strive to exceed these standards, ensuring your pet receives top-notch care and giving you confidence in the exceptional service we provide.
