American Animal Hospital Association Similar to the American Hospital Association that accredits human hospitals but is the small animal veterinary version. We are a 4-year AAHA-accredited hospital. Less than 10% of all veterinary hospitals can boast this accreditation status. Hospitals must meet minimum guidelines for patient care, surgical and anesthetic protocols, diagnostics, staffing, record-keeping and much more, as well as be subject to an intensive hospital inspection.
