American Animal Hospital Association
We have been accredited since 1947. AAHA accreditation is the highest level of veterinary excellence achieved following ongoing evaluations by the American Animal Hospital Association and reviews of BRVC’s practice protocols, medical equipment, facility, and client service. Accredited hospitals choose to be evaluated on approximately 900 quality standards that go above and beyond basic state regulations, ranging from patient care and pain management to staff training and advanced diagnostic services. In addition, AAHA standards are continuously reviewed and updated to keep accredited practices on the cutting edge of veterinary excellence. Only 15% of all small animal veterinary practices in the U.S. have achieved AAHA accreditation.
