Your cat is a playful, pouncing ball of energy, and she always licks her food dish clean, so she must be getting plenty of nutrients, right? Not necessarily. A feline fed a low-quality diet on the daily will likely develop health issues down the road, even if she seems perfectly fine today.

When it comes to finding the right veterinary hospital, many pet owners depend on recommendations from friends or relatives. And while this can lead to great results, less than a quarter of all animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada voluntarily agree to the highest standards of care established by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). This means that a vast majority of clinics and hospitals do not follow strict protocols and procedures designed to achieve the best possible health outcomes. We are proud of our AAHA accreditation for many reasons, and the confidence it provides pet owners ranks pretty high.
