AAHA-Accredited Animal Hospital in Rome, GA
Upholding the Highest Standards in Veterinary Care
At Animal Medical Center of Rome, we are proud to be an AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital, a distinction earned by fewer than 15% of animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. This voluntary accreditation demonstrates our commitment to holding ourselves to the highest standards of veterinary medicine, because your pet deserves nothing less.
What Is AAHA Accreditation?
Unlike human hospitals, veterinary hospitals are not required by law to be accredited. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) sets over 900 rigorous standards covering every aspect of veterinary care, from patient safety and pain management to surgery, diagnostics, cleanliness, and client service. Accreditation is entirely voluntary, which makes it a true badge of excellence for the hospitals that choose to uphold it.
Why It Matters for You and Your Pet
By choosing an AAHA-accredited hospital, you can trust that your pet is being cared for in a facility that:
-
Meets or exceeds strict AAHA standards in surgery, dentistry, anesthesia, and emergency care
-
Follows advanced pain management and anesthesia monitoring protocols to keep your pet safe and comfortable
-
Maintains a clean, sterile environment to reduce risks of infection and promote healing
-
Requires continuing education so our veterinary team stays up-to-date with the latest medical advancements
-
Undergoes re-evaluation every 3 years to ensure we never fall behind in our standards
