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!

Everyone at Dundee Animal Hospital - Elgin are patient, kind, and go above and beyond every time. My family is very grateful for their time, advice, and care. They have helped take care of each one of my family’s pets, cats and dogs, and they have always been amazing.

This is unfortunately the second time we have had to go Dundee in the late night. Each time the doctor has been nothing but kind as both times we had to make tough decisions. We wanted to use an alternative cremation service and they kept our boy there preserved till we could drive him to the cremation place when they opened. They put him in a cardboard casket with his Name on it and a heart. his leg wrap where they took the catheter out they took time to cut hearts. The visit was terrible but they made it as easy as they could. The doctor spent so much time sitting on the floor in the room explaining things. And gave us extra kitty churros to feed him till the end.

My mom's dog had an episode where he was non responsive then came back to it. Being concerne, we felt the need to bring Nike to a vet. The person who answered the phone remained calm and compassionate while asking many questions of what we observed during the episode, after, medical history, current medtion etc. She took her time to gather information then spoke to the doctor to confirm if he recommended bringing the dog in for a check-up. That alone made me feel confident in taking Nike to this location. Second when we arrived all staff were kind and patient as well. Dr. Gurevich took his time to gather more information to better inform us. He made sure all our questions were answered. He and the tech were never in a hurry. The emergency visit was $207. My mom felt the price was well worth the time and information that was put into evaluating Nike and the comfort we received with the information provided. Thank you for being compassionate, patient and willing to educate pet parents!
