AAHA credited vet hospitals are the BEST OF THE BEST when it comes to caring for SMALL breed dogs such as our yorkies.     
Our vet is AAHA credited and they are the best and a friend of mine works at the emergency vet-she told me that our vet-they deal with all the time.  she told me you have to be careful when choosing a vet and that your pets life could depend on it.  When i told her about the vet that we used to go before we switched... she said- all i can say is I am glad to hear that your switched.  She did not have good things to say about where we had been going.  AAHA vets are very experienced.  you will notice a difference when you walk into the door immediately that these AAHA credited vets aren't just another vet.  Unreal.  HUGE difference.  and i don't know- but -when it comes to my girls i want someone who is excellent.  there are vets on every block anymore.  The AAHA will point out the great ones for you bc unless they are AAHA credited hospitals...i don't think just any vet will do for our small babies.  they must be aaha credited.  go to the website and see what is required to be AAHA credited.   
You will be glad you did.  :-)   |  
 
  I do trust my vets. They have always cared for my dogs very well and are the best in my town, so this is hard for me. 
I'm going to continue to watch for different signs and record the coughing the next time I see it to be able to show them.
