A is for Advanced. AAHA sets over 900 standards in 18 categories that a hospital must meet in order to earn accreditation. To provide the best care possible, AAHA’s standards are very high and change to keep pace with advanced technology. Liberty Veterinary Hospital offers many advanced services including Laser Surgery, Ultrasound, Endoscopy, Dental Radiology, Pain Management, and the latest medications and products that fit those high standards.

A is for Accomplished. Services are useless without the knowledge to use them. Therefore, Liberty Veterinary Hospital is committed to exceeding AAHA’s recommendations for Continuing Education (CE) for our employees. Our veterinarians stay on top of the latest in medical & surgical care, vaccines, and medications; and we require our technicians to attend twice the amount of CE that is mandated by Ohio law. We believe you can never learn enough.

H is for Housekeeping. Any hospital should be clean & well maintained, but AAHA sets strict guidelines for cleanliness & upkeep that not all hospitals meet. Liberty Veterinary Hospital uses only the highest quality disinfectants, using separate equipment for different areas to avoid cross-contamination. Our hygienic surgical suite means less likelihood of infection than operating in an open room like some hospitals. We run quality control tests on our equipment regularly to make sure the results are as accurate as possible.

A is for Accountability. AAHA wants us to treat the whole patient, not just a condition. An older dog might not react well under anesthesia, or an allergy prone cat may have an adverse reaction to a vaccine. For this reason, we require a physical exam, and sometimes blood work, to assess your pet’s health before providing most services, like surgeries and vaccinations. We feel that this minor inconvenience far outweighs the risk of an adverse outcome.
