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!

Real Stories from Real Owners

We’ve been with Dundee Animal Hospital for about 25 years. We’ve been to all three locations and all staff are great with our pets, are efficient, thorough and trust-worthy. I can not recommend Dundee Animal Hospital enough!
Dr Lupo is the best!
Very caring and great listener. Provides thorough and appropriate testing when needed. When my Rocky was rushed in when choking on foreign object Dr. Lupo provided immediate life saving care. I will forever be grateful to this amazing vet and entire clinic. Highly recommended
Dundee Animal Hospital has taken great care of my babies since 1995!
Took my cat Luna here because she was pregnant and I felt something was off. She wasn't giving birth. I had called and also this place was recommended by other vets who were booked. Anyway, they did tell me to bring her in and even called back to make sure we were on our way. We were but we're in south elgin so it took us some time to get there. Luna wasn't progressing and after an ultrasound we were told the kitten was big and heartbeat wasn't as strong as they would like. They told us they saw 2 options, inducing Luna or going straight for c section.
We chose c section because we didn't want Luna to lose the kitten, that would have been devastating for her and us.
Well, the whole team ensured that Luna and kitten were ok.
There was a problem with financing c section but this place worked with us and payment was eventually secured.
This place truly cares about animals, it shows. They were so kind and non judgemental.
I am beyond grateful that they saved Luna's life and the kitten. My daughter would have been devastated if anything happened to Luna or the kitten.
