90 Years of AAHA

Special section celebrating AAHA’s 90th anniversary, and the practices that have been there for the whole journey.

A brief visual history of the American Animal Hospital Association

When AAHA was founded in the early 1930s, veterinary medicine was changing from a focus on large animals to family pets. At the time, few veterinarians treated dogs and cats: Facilities were ill-equipped, surgery was crude, and there were no formal roles for technicians and support staff. AAHA founders recognized a need for conformity of care, so they formed the association to promote high standards in the small animal veterinary community.
