What AAHA certification means to you....
American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) endorsed hospitals have a proven record of high quality care worthy of special recognition. In fact, only 18 percent of animal hospitals in the United States receive certification from the AAHA. A Small Animal Hospital is among the few AAHA recognized facilities.

Dr. Amy Besola
“Animals have always meant a lot to me. I grew up riding horses and showing everything from ducks and geese to cattle and sheep at county fairs. I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Tinker, as a present from my grandfather for my fourth birthday. Some of my first memories are of holding her as a wiggly, cuddly puppy. I knew instantly that I wanted a lifetime of helping animals.”
