AAHA Accredited at Dugan's Veterinary Hospital

• Voluntary, not required: Unlike human hospitals, animal hospitals aren’t required to be accredited—so practices that pursue AAHA accreditation are choosing to go above and beyond.
• A small percentage qualify: About 15% of veterinary hospitals have completed AAHA’s rigorous accreditation process. Choosing an AAHA-accredited hospital means you’re choosing one of the few.
• Hundreds of standards (nearly 900 overall): To earn and maintain accreditation, hospitals must meet hundreds of continuously updated standards covering anesthesia, pain management, dentistry, surgery, emergency/critical care, medical records, lab, pharmacy, HR, client service, and more.
• Ongoing quality checks: Accreditation isn’t one-and-done.  AAHA hospitals are reevaluated regularly, typically every three years, to ensure standards are consistently met.

AAHA accreditation is your signal that a hospital is committed to the gold standard of veterinary medicine and exceptional client care.
