Raising the Standard of Veterinary Care

At Island Hammock Pet Hospital, we are proud to be an AAHA-Accredited Veterinary Practice—a distinction achieved by fewer than 15% of veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada. This accreditation demonstrates our ongoing commitment to excellence in every aspect of patient care.

What Is AAHA Accreditation?

AAHA stands for the American Animal Hospital Association. Unlike human hospitals, not all veterinary hospitals are required to be accredited. In fact, most are not.

AAHA accreditation is voluntary and only granted to practices that meet or exceed over 900 rigorous standards in areas such as:

  • Patient care
  • Surgery and anesthesia
  • Pain management
  • Diagnostics and laboratory
  • Cleanliness and sanitation
  • Client communication
  • Continuing education
  • Medical recordkeeping
  • Emergency preparedness

We undergo regular, comprehensive evaluations to ensure we continue to meet these standards and provide your pet with the highest level of veterinary care available.

Why AAHA Accreditation Matters

✅Gold Standard of Veterinary Medicine
AAHA’s standards are continuously updated to reflect the latest in veterinary science, technology, and best practices. Accreditation ensures we are always practicing medicine that is safe, effective, and compassionate.

✅Exceptional Medical Protocols
From dental cleanings and surgical procedures to routine check-ups, you can trust that every service is performed with protocols backed by veterinary experts and evidence-based care.

✅Safer, More Comfortable Experiences
AAHA standards help us provide better pain management, safer anesthesia, cleaner facilities, and more thorough monitoring—leading to healthier, happier pets.

✅Peace of Mind for Pet Owners
Knowing your veterinary hospital has gone above and beyond to earn accreditation means you can feel confident in your pet’s care at every visit.
