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!

Dr. Larsen is a wonderful human being. He is so patient and kind, and gentle, especially when he is delivering bad news. He is knowledgeable about his craft and he has a great "bedside manner". My timid little girls are willing to work with him. They are especially nervous around men and they seem to have taken right to him. I appreciate all of the help and care he has provided us. We would highly recommend Dundee animal clinic and their staff!

Your doctor was wonderful! She was kind and patient with me...I am somewhat of a spaz when it comes to my fur babies and she made me feel comfortable with the treatment plan. She also gave me additional options should angel get worse. I have been a client of Dundee animal hospital for about a year and I won't take my pets anywhere else again. I typically take my girls to the Elgin location, when the injury occurred they didn't have any openings so the receptionist looked at the Dundee location and found an appointment within seconds and got me in within an hour of my call. I love that the locations communicate with each other and help clients with their pets injuries get seen as soon as possible. For a spazzy pet mom like me this is the best vet I have ever been to. I've had pets all of my life and I worked at a vets office for several years, so saying that says a lot about them. I highly recommend both locations, your pets will thank you!
