You want to receive the best assistance and veterinary services for your pets. Taking them to a veterinarian you trust and feel safe with makes all the difference.
If you’re looking for a new vet clinic, choose one with an accreditation from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).
What Is The AAHA?
The AAHA is an accrediting organization for animal hospitals in the United States and Canada. Vet practices that receive accreditation follow the extensive standards the AAHA has set as guidelines for vets that encompass all aspects of veterinary medicine.
The AAHA was founded in 1933 and has kept its strong dedication to professional development, high hospital standards, excellent educational programs and outstanding publications. The organization evaluates over 800 standards to ensure animal hospitals offer quality services.
Why Choose An AAHA-Accredited Vet?
When you go to a vet with an AAHA accreditation, you know the vets you see strive to promote healthier pets and provide the best care. Here are a few reasons why you should look for an AAHA-accredited animal hospital:
The gold standard for vets: The AAHA accreditation is the highest one any vet can receive in the United States and Canada. With the prestigious nature of the accreditations, only 12-15% of vets in North America are AAHA-accredited.
Advanced protocols: Vets with AAHA-accredited have significantly high standards, so you know they have incredibly sterile and clean environments. They also provide the best care with carefully detailed wellness plans, pain management, safety and patient handling and care.
Regular reviews: All AAHA-accredited facilities have regular evaluations to ensure they keep following the organization’s standards. Vets and staff must also participate in continuing education to stay informed on new information and best practices.

What Our Clients Have To Say
I took my galah Rosie for a general physical. The staff and vet took the time to show me (as a new bird owner) how to clip nails and wings and what to look for as far as outward signs of her health.
Susanne Arbagy
I just moved to Florida, and looking for a veterinarian I came across university animal clinic walking around the plaza so I decided to stop in and get information on the veterinarians, the women at the front desk was so kind and caring, I unfortunately forgot her name.
Karen Hulty
Can’t recommend highly enough!!! The staff is extremely friendly and the Vet is energetic and very knowledgeable and easy to talk to! They work with exotic animals which is a plus! We brought our bearded dragon that formed an abscess and they had her all fixed up in 20 minutes!!
Ian Preston
I love Dr. Rill. Our little Cafe had been struggling with an ear infection for almost a year and Dr, Rill never gave up on making her better. I learned so much from him. I love his assistants! They are kind and treat the animals with respect. And, they are kind to us humans as well.

I am, as I have been for a good 20 years, still a satisfied patron of University Animal Clinic. They do their best consistently and take comments to heart and make changes to serve our pets better.
Pet Parent
Thank you to Doctor Simonson, Casey, Dr. Sam and the rest of the team for taking care of Wrangler! You all treated him like a pet of your own and made me feel so comfortable leaving him with you to watch over after such a scary incident. Everyone at your office is so knowledgeable and caring.
Jennifer Tee
Best EVER!!! Dr. Leigh is fantastic!!! I am moving my dog’s care to her. This is after growing up with the same vet (22 years). She spent time with my dog and did a thorough examination. She took time to discuss treatment plans for her arthritis. Dr. Leigh and the techs are so knowledgeable.
Dog Parent
I wasn’t holding my breath that a vet would work hard to help diagnose my leopard gecko. I was wrong. The doctor worked hard to diagnose why our pet lizard stopped eating & ran a battery of tests.
