Not all animal hospitals choose to pursue the AAHA-accreditation process since it is not required by law. When it comes to pet health care accreditation is a voluntary and time-consuming process.

​

Some of the AAHA enhanced standards of accreditation cover the following areas:

​

• Anesthesia: Methods for assessing anesthetic needs in patients and appropriateness of equipment

• Contagious Disease: Protocols, processes and facilities to handle contagious diseases and avoid outbreaks

• Dentistry: Safe dental procedures that protect both the patient and staff member.

• Diagnostic Imaging: Diagnostic imaging protocols that create a safe environment for both the patient and staff members

• Emergency: Equipment handling and process for emergencies

• Examination Room: Properly equipped for thorough examinations

• Housekeeping: Cleanliness

• Laboratory: Laboratory services for the prompt diagnosis of patients

• Medical Records: Continuity of care through medical record details

• Pain Management: Pain assessment, management and training

• Patient Care: Humane and advantageous care to patients during all aspects of their visit

• Pharmacy: Proper handling, storing and dispensing of medications

• Safety: Safety of environment for patients, clients and team

• Surgery: Patient safety in an aseptic environment with appropriate pre- and post-operative considerations
