| The
American Animal Hospital Association
(AAHA) certifies animal care facilities with the purpose of ensuring
the best possible care for animals. Only about 15% of the Veterinary
Practices in the United States have earned accreditation. Penobscot
Veterinary Hospital achieved and has maintained AAHA certification
since 1974, making it the 4th oldest AAHA hospital in the state of
Maine.
To achieve AAHA status, Penobscot Veterinary Services has completed
comprehensive inspections of our practice, including management
techniques, hospital facilities, medical and surgical equipment,
and medical record keeping. The inspections are ongoing and an
AAHA consultant routinely visits the hospital to thoroughly evaluate
the facility to be sure it complies with the rigorous AAHA standards.
Penobscot Veterinary Services will continue to meet AAHA's strict
standards of practice in order to provide the highest quality
medical
and surgical care for your pets.
