I tried two AAHA accredited facilities here and felt the vets at both were incompetent and rude. I ended up switching to a place that is non AAHA and I personally LOVE them. I fully trust all the vets on staff and am comfortable leaving my dogs in their care. The specialty hospital I use when needed is AAHA. So while it is something to take into consideration- it is by no means a deal breaker for me. However, I never even consider the cost of the visits- the education of the vets, the way they treat my animals, their willingness to consult with specialists, their continuing education, their ability to interact with me, their openness to new ideas, etc. etc are what decide whether I go somewhere or not- I have been places where an office visit was anywhere from $38-$100.
