Our Certifications
A Higher Standard of Veterinary Care
At Country Creek Animal Hospital, we’re proud to hold certifications that reflect our deep commitment to excellence in veterinary medicine. These accreditations aren’t just badges — they’re a promise to you and your pet that we go above and beyond in every aspect of care.
AAHA® Accredited Hospital
Only about 15% of animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada earn accreditation from the American Animal Hospital Association. This rigorous evaluation covers everything from patient care and surgery to safety protocols and medical equipment.
Why it matters: You can trust that your pet is receiving care that meets or exceeds over 900 standards of veterinary excellence.
Fear Free® Certified
Our team is trained in Fear Free techniques to reduce anxiety, stress, and fear in pets during visits. This includes everything from how we handle your pet to the sights, sounds, and smells of our clinic environment.
Why it matters: A calmer, more comfortable visit means better experiences for both you and your pet — and often better health outcomes.
Cat Friendly Practice®
Cats have unique needs, and this certification from the Feline Veterinary Medical Association shows that we’ve taken extra steps to provide a welcoming, low-stress environment tailored specifically for them.
Why it matters: From feline only exam rooms to a feline only lodging/boarding area, your cat will receive care designed just for them.
IVPA Member
As a proud member of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association, we are independently owned and operated — not part of a large corporate chain. This allows us to make decisions based solely on what's best for our patients and clients.
Why it matters: You and your pet receive highly personalized care from a team that knows you and answers only to you.
