A Day to Celebrate Champions for Excellent Care

AAHA ACCREDIETED HOSPITAL DAY JULY 22nd 2019

“AAHA day” is designated to educate pet owners about what accreditation means for their pets and to thank accredited hospitals for holding themselves to a higher standard.

Unlike human hospitals, animal hospitals are not required to be accredited, a fact that is not common knowledge to many pet owners. Only (12-15%) animal hospitals in the United States and Canada have gone above and beyond to become accredited.

Being accredited means that your hospital holds itself to a higher standard, and that your pet is receiving care at a hospital that has been evaluated on over 900 standards.  AAHA guidelines are professional recommendations that help veterinary hospitals continue to deliver the highest standard of care with the latest in veterinary medicine. AAHA standards are based on practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client service.

 AAHA is the only organization that accredits veterinary hospitals in the US and Canada, which allows them to set the standard for quality veterinary care for companion animals.

ZimmVet is proud to be AAHA. ZimmVet will be celebrating AAHA day on Monday July 22, 2019. We will be taking pet pictures and offering giveaways and snacks. See our display of staff pictures on why we believe being AAHA Accredited is important.
