Accredited hospitals pass periodic stringent evaluations and inspections in which they are graded on over 900 standards covering such areas as quality of patient care, medical and surgical protocols, diagnostic and treatment capabilities, medical records, continuing education, and facility amenities and cleanliness.

AAHA standards represent the highest quality of medical care and are updated regularly to ensure that they remain consistent with evolving knowledge and technology. Accreditation inspections help veterinary hospitals stay on the leading edge of veterinary medicine and provide the best services available today.

Blue Springs Animal Hospital and Pet Resort has been an AAHA accredited practice since 1991. Attaining and maintaining accreditation has been an essential part of our commitment over the years to providing only the highest quality medical and surgical services to our patients and clients.

Representatives from Blue Springs Animal Hospital and Pet Resort joined the other national finalists March 18-21st in Long Beach, California at the AAHA National Convention, where the final award placements were announced.
