Every year, July 22 serves as #AAHADay—the day that the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) designates to educate pet owners about what accreditation means for their pets and to thank accredited hospitals for holding themselves to a higher standard.
Avets is proud to be an AAHA-accredited hospital!
AAHA is the only organization that accredits veterinary practices in the United States and Canada. Practices that choose to pursue accreditation are evaluated on stringent quality standards that encompass all aspects of veterinary medicine—from pain management and patient care to team training and medical recordkeeping—and are continuously updated to keep accredited practice teams at the forefront of the profession.
Today, only 12%–15% of veterinary practices in the US and Canada hold the “AAHA-accredited” designation.
Learn more about AAHA accreditation on our blog: bit.ly/3fMZnFO.

Did you know that July is National Pet Hydration Month?
As the weather gets increasingly warmer this summer, it's important to make sure your pet is staying hydrated, especially since water is essential to almost every important body function. Ensure that your pet has fresh, clean water available to them at all times and read more about the warning signs of dehydration at: bit.ly/30gbbtp.

Wondering if your dog is dehydrated? Here are the signs to look for and the actions to take if your dog is suffering.
Rennie is a sweet patient of ours who was initially treated in our ER and then by our Internal Medicine service, seeing both Dr. Tam and Dr. Geesaman.
Rennie's mom, Stacey, posted a wonderful update this week: "Rennie is all done with his 5 months of chemo and still acting like a puppy💕! Wearing his 'Avets loves me' bandana!"
