"Saltwater Animal Hospital has the most compassionate staff from the Front Line to the Veterinary Staff. They are very understanding of the obstacles both financially and physically of getting my cat to the clinic. They will even bring her back n forth to my car which is a blessing for me. It's like"kitty valet". Kaitlyn VA and Dr Aubrey DeHart are both very knowledgeable and efficient in their roles. Such a great team effort to provide care and resolve urinary issues with my kitty who has been struggling off n on for the last few months. I would highly recommend them for veterinary care!"

These standards cover nearly every aspect of our hospital, including surgery, exam facilities, patient care, cleanliness, client service, emergency services, diagnostic imaging, and anesthesiology. Only 15% of animal hospitals in the United States and Canada are accredited by AAHA, which is recognized worldwide as the benchmark for quality care in veterinary medicine.
