AAHA Accreditation in Reno
At Monte Vista Animal Hospital, our AAHA accreditation means your pet receives veterinary care that meets the highest standards in the industry. Because they’re not just pets — they’re family.
What It Means for You and Your Pet
At Monte Vista Animal Hospital, we’re proud to be an AAHA-accredited veterinary practice — a distinction earned by fewer than 15% of animal hospitals in the United States and Canada. This accreditation is a symbol of our unwavering commitment to providing the highest standards in veterinary care.
What Is AAHA?
AAHA stands for the American Animal Hospital Association, the only organization accrediting companion animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Unlike human hospitals, not all veterinary practices are required to be accredited. Earning AAHA accreditation is a voluntary process that involves a rigorous evaluation of a hospital’s protocols, medical equipment, staff training, and quality of care.
Why AAHA Accreditation Matters
To become accredited, veterinary hospitals must meet or exceed over 900 standards covering all aspects of veterinary medicine, including:
- Patient care and pain management
- Cleanliness and safety
- Surgery and anesthesia protocols
- Diagnostic imaging and laboratory services
- Medical record keeping
- Client communication and service
These standards are constantly updated to reflect the latest advancements in veterinary science and technology. When you choose an AAHA-accredited hospital like Monte Vista Animal Hospital, you’re choosing a team that goes above and beyond to ensure your pet receives exceptional, evidence-based care in a safe, comfortable environment.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Achieving AAHA accreditation isn’t a one-time event — it requires ongoing dedication. We undergo regular evaluations by AAHA experts to maintain our status, ensuring we continue to provide the level of care your pet deserves.
Every day, we strive to exceed expectations — not only because it’s required by AAHA, but because it’s what we believe your pet deserves.
