🎉 We’re proud to share that we have officially passed our AAHA Re-Certification! 🐾

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) sets the gold standard in veterinary medicine, and fewer than 15% of veterinary hospitals earn this distinction. Passing recertification means our hospital continues to meet rigorous standards in patient care, safety, cleanliness, medical protocols, and client service.

✨ Why choosing an AAHA-accredited hospital matters:
• Higher standards of care and safety
• Advanced medical protocols and equipment
• Ongoing staff training and continuing education
• A strong focus on pain management and patient comfort
• Commitment to excellence you can trust

Thank you to our incredible team for their dedication and to our clients for trusting us with your pets’ care. We are honored to continue providing the highest level of veterinary medicine to our community! 🐶🐱💙
