AAHA-accredited practices are at the heart of better care for pets and their people

AAHA is the only organization that accredits veterinary practices in the United States and Canada. AAHA-accredited practices are evaluated on stringent quality standards that encompass all aspects of veterinary medicine—from pain management and patient care to team training and medical recordkeeping. AAHA's standards are continuously updated to keep accredited practice teams at the forefront of the profession.

Today, approximately 12%–15% of veterinary practices in the US and Canada hold the “AAHA-accredited” designation.
