All Pets earns highest accreditation evaluation STAFF REPORT

All Pets Medical Center, 1300 E. Tamarack Road in Altus, has achieved the highest level of veteri- nary excellence following a thorough evaluation by the American Ani- mal Hospital Association (AAHA). All Pets Medi- cal Center earned AAHA accreditation after a rig- orous review of the hos- pital’s practice protocols, medical equipment, facili- ty and client service. Unlike human hospitals, not all animal hospitals are required to be accred- ited. Accredited hospitals are the only hospitals that choose to be evaluated on approximately 900 quality standards that go above and beyond basic state regulations, ranging from patient care and pain man- agement to staff training and advanced diagnostic services. AAHA standards are continuously reviewed and updated to keep ac- credited practices on the cutting edge of veterinary excellence. Only the top small ani- mal hospitals in the Unit- ed States and Canada have achieved accreditation by the Association. To main- tain accredited status, All Pets Medical Center must continue to be evaluated regularly by AAHA. Are you reading this? Your competitor is too. ADVERTISE WITH US! 580.482.1221
