Our team is proud to announce that Petworks received AAHA accreditation in May 2010. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Standards of Accreditation are widely used as benchmarks to measure excellence in veterinary medicine.

Our hospital has been successfully evaluated by an AAHA practice consultant on approximately 900 standards that directly correlate to the care we are providing your pet. The standards are periodically reviewed and updated to ensure they remain consistent with changes in veterinary medicine and technology. We are evaluated every three years to maintain our accredited status and to make sure we are keeping up with industry updates. We understand that your pet holds a valued place in your life and your heart and we are dedicated to providing your pet with the best health care possible.
