AAHA Accredited

We Are AAHA Accredited!

As a practice and as your pet’s primary medical provider, we never want to settle for service that is less than stellar. Being your chosen veterinarian is a privilege, but maintaining your trust and keeping your pet healthy requires more than compassion and reliability. Therefore, Dundee Animal Hospital has gone a step further than roughly 85% of all other animal hospitals in North America by becoming an AAHA-accredited practice. Through our accreditation, we hope to continue exceeding our clients’ expectations in every aspect of veterinary medicine. Furthermore, being accredited enables us to give your pet the care they truly deserve–at every visit.

Introducing AAHA

AAHA is the American Animal Hospital Association, the sole accrediting organization for small animal hospitals throughout the United States and Canada. Established in 1933, AAHA has since inspired approximately 15% of all North American animal hospitals to strive for excellence in veterinary medicine. In choosing to become accredited, our team has taken up the challenge of becoming a superior animal hospital in every respect. This means excelling in areas such as pain management, client and patient care, anesthesia and monitoring, equipment, safety techniques and much more. We have chosen this status due to our genuine passion for helping animals and nurturing strong bonds in our community.

Becoming an AAHA-accredited hospital is one step; maintaining accreditation is another. Every three years, AAHA experts evaluate our practice in over 900 areas of veterinary care and service. To remain accredited, we must pass inspection in all of these areas. Animal hospitals that hold this distinction are thorough, responsive, sanitary and above all, safe. We are proud to be an example of veterinary excellence in our community, and will continue to go above and beyond for you and your pet.

Why AAHA Accreditation Matters For You & Your Pet

Unlike human hospitals, veterinary hospitals are not required to be accredited to practice veterinary medicine. And did you know that almost 60% of people believe their veterinarian is accredited when they’re actually not? So, why does it matter whether or not your vet is AAHA-accredited? Watch this short video to learn more about why it matters that our three hospitals are AAHA-accredited and how these high standards ensure your pet will be receiving the very best in care at Dundee Animal Hospital!

Real Stories from Real Owners

I’m grateful for the team at Dundee Animal Hospital Elgin, and Dundee. I never thought to use them for standard veterinary services due to using Dundee a handful of times for after hours euthanasia services and the sadness it brought being at the clinic, but after taking my young dog to a “specialty clinic” and was given a 7k + estimate, for extreme services. I called around the same night and Elgin got me in same day, Dr. Larson took a less invasive approach and was able to send part of my dogs abnormal growth away for testing without removing an entire digit like the specialty wanted too. They were all very kind and treated Millie with love and were not afraid to handle her. They made eye contact with me and were transparent about the process. When I had a question about my dog’s medication dosage on Saturday, I called Dundee after hours and while it was not a true emergency the tech was kind and provided me the information I needed. Thank you for saving me THOUSANDS and for saving Millie’s foot.
It is always a pleasant time at Dundee Animal Hospital. We brought our cat Lenny in to get neutered and we also had them check for polyps and they found two big polyps that they were able to remove and everyone was just as excited as we were. Lenny has been having respiratory issues for a while, so we were ecstatic to hear this amazing news!

The staff is also so knowledgeable and always answers our questions if we have concerns. They followed up to ensure Lenny was doing well this morning and answered some concerns that I had and made me feel so much better.

Thank you for being such a great animal hospital!
All of the Dundee animal hospital locations are well kept, clean, and full of professions that are great with pets! I’ve been coming here for years.
The staff, technician, and Dr Christensen were wonderful. Very attentive, listened well, very thorough, and friendly. My dog was very comfortable with the doctor and with the facility
