AAHA Accredited

We Are AAHA Accredited!

As a practice and as your pet’s primary medical provider, we never want to settle for service that is less than stellar. Being your chosen veterinarian is a privilege, but maintaining your trust and keeping your pet healthy requires more than compassion and reliability. Therefore, Dundee Animal Hospital has gone a step further than roughly 85% of all other animal hospitals in North America by becoming an AAHA-accredited practice. Through our accreditation, we hope to continue exceeding our clients’ expectations in every aspect of veterinary medicine. Furthermore, being accredited enables us to give your pet the care they truly deserve–at every visit.

Introducing AAHA

AAHA is the American Animal Hospital Association, the sole accrediting organization for small animal hospitals throughout the United States and Canada. Established in 1933, AAHA has since inspired approximately 15% of all North American animal hospitals to strive for excellence in veterinary medicine. In choosing to become accredited, our team has taken up the challenge of becoming a superior animal hospital in every respect. This means excelling in areas such as pain management, client and patient care, anesthesia and monitoring, equipment, safety techniques and much more. We have chosen this status due to our genuine passion for helping animals and nurturing strong bonds in our community.

Becoming an AAHA-accredited hospital is one step; maintaining accreditation is another. Every three years, AAHA experts evaluate our practice in over 900 areas of veterinary care and service. To remain accredited, we must pass inspection in all of these areas. Animal hospitals that hold this distinction are thorough, responsive, sanitary and above all, safe. We are proud to be an example of veterinary excellence in our community, and will continue to go above and beyond for you and your pet.

Why AAHA Accreditation Matters For You & Your Pet

Unlike human hospitals, veterinary hospitals are not required to be accredited to practice veterinary medicine. And did you know that almost 60% of people believe their veterinarian is accredited when they’re actually not? So, why does it matter whether or not your vet is AAHA-accredited? Watch this short video to learn more about why it matters that our three hospitals are AAHA-accredited and how these high standards ensure your pet will be receiving the very best in care at Dundee Animal Hospital!

After having bad experiences with 3 different vets, I started going to Dundee Animal Hospital. I won't go anywhere else. Dr. Lupo and staff was so very kind. I can't imagine going to another vet.

We have been taking our dog here for 3 years now and we absolutely love the doctors and staff at this place. They truly love their jobs and the animals that come through the door. We are always able to get an appointment quickly, never walk into a packed waiting area with a bunch of dogs and the ladies at the front desk are absolute angels to my boy Bernie. Thanks so much for giving us a Ver clinic that truly cares!

I had to rush my dog early morning to the Dundee location. I knew I had to put my Dolly to sleep and I was distraught. The E.R. team was very kind and thoughtful and made the process very peaceful. Dr. Khorsand was incredibly kind. He explained everything he was doing always deferring to me to make sure I was ready. Thankfully at one of the worst times of my life I found myself at the best place I could be. Thank you to everyone there.

The staff at DAH acted quickly to save my cat's life. I will always remember their accurate diagnosis, and swift response, when my little one ate something he shouldn't have. I am deeply grateful for the expertise of Drs. Moderhack, Maras, and surgeon Gurevich. The surgeon called both before and after the procedure, which we greatly appreciated. Also deserving of special thanks is the team who monitored my cat's health 24/7. He received the very best of care! Thanks to these kind and competent professionals, our boy is still zooming around today.
