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!

We brought our cat here for an urgent visit. She had a hard landing from a high place and we had some concerns. Thankfully she is ok! The vet and her staff were absolutely amazing! We appreciate them all so much for being so kind and helping our fur baby!

We take our guinea pigs here. Dr. Lupo and his staff are just so amazing! We have rescued a lot of guinea pigs, and unfortunately with the nature of some of the cases, eventually some health issues arise. The entire staff is so caring, it is clear that they love what they do! We highly recommend Dundee Animal Hospital of Elgin! They are just as wonderful with other pets too!

I've tried a few great vets in the area over the past few decades. I choose Dundee Animal Hospital because the vets are incredibly talented and experienced. Having an emergency clinic in Dundee as part of their practice group has given me peace of mind that's been irreplaceable when we've needed it- with a team that already has our medical records and history and knows our animals. Invaluable.

I brought my soul dog in for an emergency visit on a Friday night and the day I've dreaded for 12 years finally came. Kerry the emergency tech and Dr. Gurevich were so incredibly kind and empathetic to me and my girl. They gave me time and sweet, wise words and sent a beautiful card in the mail the following week. The front desk staff was also wonderful to me. I wish the circumstances were different but I very much appreciate how the staff took care every step of the way. Everyone hug your sweet furry ones for me, and if you need a place to go I wholeheartedly recommend Dundee Animal Hospital <3
