The Benefits Of Choosing An AAHA Vet

Vet-practices-that-receive-accreditation

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 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.

Paulina Testerman

Vets and staff are knowledgeable and efficient. Clean and friendly Vet office. My dog now goes in to see her Vet with out balking.

Sara Little

Dr. Fink was just super with the Bruiser on his last visit. The entire staff was attentive, caring and professional. We would highly recommend University Animal Clinic to all who love their pets and want the best care for them.

ARF

All employees are amazing with animals. I am glad I found a Vet’s office that makes me feel that my 5 months old puppy is in the best hands

Heide Myrick

Even with full covid-19 protection our Basset was well cared for by the staff, I received detailed home care instructions and got a ‘checking on you’ call the next day. Our basset is on the way to revovery. Perfect outcome. Great caring friendly staff.

Stan Yonkauski

Met Dr. Sam and Dr. Fink today and was very impressed. We have been a client of University Animal Clinic since it opened with Dr. Rill. My wife and I feel very comfortable with these ladies and plan to keep our relationship with them. The staff and Dr’s are very helpful and friendly.

Pet Parent

The very best of care, the entire staff always gives their all and truly cares about both patient and parents! You won’t find a better clinic in Sarasota.

Ron Marano

My dogs, Max and Leo, always have a very positive experience at UAC. The staff is friendly and professional. The office is efficient and clean. I appreciate the ability to check on the dogs’ vaccinations, etc., on the pet portal. Great vet practice.

Ronni Silverman

The entire staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Sam was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and eased my anxiety. Even though I was worried they comforted me, answered all of my questions, and took great care of my fur baby.

Zach Gennette

It is very difficult to find an avian vet who is kind while not sugar coating what can be bad news. I had no idea conures get cataracts as they get older, helped me understand my bird’s actions. The Dr. is wonderful!
