Why Choose An AAHA Accredited Emergency Veterinary Hospital

Emergency Veterinary Care Centers proudly serve Northwest Indiana, Southwest Michigan, and Chicagoland with the highest standards of veterinary excellence. Recognizing the special place your pet holds in your family, we're committed to AAHA accreditation to give them the best possible care. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) sets rigorous standards for veterinary practices, and our accreditation reflects our dedication to maintaining these high standards across all our locations.

What is AAHA and Why Does It Matter?

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only organization that accredits veterinary practices in the U.S. and Canada based on standards that guarantee quality care. With less than 15% of veterinary practices meeting these stringent criteria, AAHA accreditation is a mark of excellence. This status demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering top-quality veterinary care, ensuring that every aspect of our practice, from patient care to customer service, meets these high standards.
