AAHA Accreditation

Rutland Veterinary Clinic & Surgical Center has been  an accredited veterinary practice following a comprehensive evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association. The evaluation includes a quality assessment review of the hospital's facility, diagnostic & pharmacy, medical equipment, practice methods and pet health care management.

Here are a few examples of how AAHA's standards impact you and your pet.

    * the standards require hospitals to provide diagnostic services (x-ray and laboratory) so that they can quickly and accurately diagnose your pet

    * the standards focus on the quality of care in the areas of : anesthesia, contagious diseases, dentistry, pain management, patient care, surgery and emergency care.

    * Accredited hospitals have an onsite pharmacy (another standards area) so they can begin treatment immediately.

    * AAHA standards also require that medical records be thorough and complete which helps them to better understand your pet's medical history and how past health issues might be impacting their current medical status.

Only 15 percent of all small animal veterinary practices in the U.S. have achieved accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association. In order to maintain accredited status, Rutland Veterinary Clinic & Surgical Center must continue to be evaluated regularly by the association's consultants.

Rutland Veterinary Clinic & Surgical Center belongs to a select group of practices that are committed to meeting the highest standards in veterinary medicine. AAHA hospitals pass a stringent evaluation of over 900 standards covering patient care, client service and medical protocols. By attaining accreditation, we are demonstrating our dedication to offer the best care to our patients and clients.

The American Animal Hospital Association is an international organization of more than 36,000 veterinary care providers who treat companion animals. Established in 1933, the association is well known among veterinarians for its high standards for hospitals and pet health care.
