AAHA-Accredited
AAHA-Accredited Animal Hospital in St. John, IN
Coyne Veterinary Center in St. John, IN, is now an AAHA-accredited animal hospital. The road to accreditation was a long and challenging one, but our veterinarians and staff could not be happier about this accomplishment, which enables us to deliver the highest standard of veterinary care and customer service to pet families throughout the region.
We comply with a tremendous number of guidelines to ensure our practice is always meeting or exceeding standards of safety, ethics, pain management, and overall quality of care. You and your pet deserve the best, and we wouldn’t expect anything less for our own pets.
What Exactly is the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)?
The American Animal Hospital Association is the only accrediting organization for animal hospitals in the entire US, and accreditation itself is a voluntary pursuit – only about 15% of practices have been able to achieve accreditation thus far.
AAHA was established in 1933 by leaders in the veterinary profession who believed there needed to be an ultimate standard in veterinary medicine. That mission endures today, with AAHA experts working together to improve standards of care, train animal hospital teams, and educate pet owners. All of this is done to elevate veterinary care across the board and ensure better experiences for pets and people.
How We Maintain Our Accreditation
Coyne Veterinary Center complies with more than 900 AAHA standards and guidelines. To keep our accreditation, our hospital is evaluated every few years by AAHA inspectors to make sure we continue to uphold their standards.
