Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Wieneke, and today I'm here with my friend Amy to talk about the American Animal Hospital Association, or AAHA.
Our pets are family, and when it comes to their care, we all want to feel confident that we're making the best decisions for them. That's really what the American Animal Hospital Association represents.
AAHA sets the gold standard for veterinary care. To become AAHA accredited, hospitals must meet rigorous standards that cover every aspect of patient care—from patient safety and anesthetic monitoring to the quality of medicine they provide every day.
AAHA accreditation isn't just about meeting expectations. It's about continually raising those standards through ongoing education, valuable resources, and a commitment to excellence.
When a pet owner chooses an AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital, they're not just choosing a veterinarian. They're choosing a higher level of trust, compassion, and care for their pet.
At East Hills Veterinary Clinic and Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, we're proud to be an independently owned, AAHA-accredited veterinary practice committed to providing exceptional care for every pet and every family we serve.
That's what we're all about.
Why AAHA Accreditation Matters for Your Pet's Care

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) only accredits veterinary hospitals that meet rigorous standards for patient care, safety, medical excellence, and continuous improvement.
