AAHA Accredited
Becoming an AAHA-accredited animal hospital means committing to the highest standard of veterinary excellence. Did you know that a majority of practices in the United States and Canada are not accredited? Only 12-15% of small animal hospitals in North America are accredited with the American Animal Hospital Association, the sole accrediting institution for veterinary practices. At Maplewood Animal Hospital, we know how important it is to guarantee quality medicine and customer service to our patients and clients, day after day. Call our team at (765) 284-3393 to schedule an appointment for your pet!
What Does the American Animal Hospital Association Do?
The American Animal Hospital Association, or AAHA as it is most commonly known, was founded in 1933 by veterinary professionals seeking to raise the standard of quality offered in the industry. Today, AAHA continues to stay ahead of the curve regarding advances in veterinary medicine, updating their guidelines and conducting routine inspections of accredited practices. Their goal is to help animal hospitals set themselves apart by setting the bar high—and that means adhering to over 900 different standards!
