Each of our veterinarians are members of the following associations.
Established in 1933 by leaders in the veterinary profession, the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only exclusive companion animal veterinary association. AAHA is well known for its high standards in veterinary practices and quality pet care and promotes those standards within the veterinary profession and to the public. The Association develops benchmarks of excellence, business practice standards, informative publications and educational programs designed to help companion animal hospitals thrive.
AAHA believes in setting “The Standard of Veterinary Excellence.” Throughout the Association’s 75 years, its mission has remained the same: provide veterinary professionals with the resources they need to effectively manage their businesses and deliver the best in companion animal care.
The AAHA membership philosophy allows every hospital staff member, from veterinarians to receptionists, to benefit from AAHA’s resources through one group membership. Today, AAHA serves approximately 6,000 practice teams in the United States and Canada that are comprised of more than 40,000 individual veterinary care providers. Nearly 3,000 of the total practice teams are accredited.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), established in 1863, is a not-for-profit association representing more than 78,000 veterinarians working in private and corporate practice, government, industry, academia, and uniformed services. Structured to work for its members, the AVMA acts as a collective voice for its membership and for the profession.
The mission of the Association is to improve animal and human health and advance the veterinary medical profession. The objective of the Association shall be to advance the science and art of veterinary medicine, including its relationship to public health, biological science, and agriculture.
The Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association (PVMA) is the only statewide professional membership organization in Pennsylvania dedicated exclusively to the profession of veterinary medicine and the interests of veterinarians, their clients and patients.
Established in 1883, PVMA membership has grown from its original 22 founding members to an organization representing over 1,600 veterinarians and 500 veterinary students. Our members represent the broad spectrum of veterinary medicine, including, but not limited to, small animal, large animal, exotic, bovine and equine practitioners, and those veterinarians working in research and academic capacities.
The Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association is affiliated with 18 local veterinary medical associations and the internationally recognized American Veterinary Medical Association.
The Conestoga Veterinary Medical Association is a constituent organization of the PVMA. Founded originally as the Conestoga Veterinary Club in 1912, the organization was named CVMA in September of 1955.
The American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS) was founded in 1976 for the purpose of creating a forum for advancing the knowledge, education, and awareness of veterinary dentistry among veterinarians, students, and the public.
Boasting a truly international membership, the AVDS is the largest organization of veterinary dental professionals in the world.
