We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Skye, the 11 year old therapy dog for Absecon Public Schools. We are honored to have cared for such a special soul, and the joy he brought to students, staff, and community members throughout Absecon and beyond will not be forgotten.
Sending our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Dooley, Absecon Public Schools, and to everyone whose lives were touched by Skye. He was truly one of a kind. 🌈

AAHA Accreditation
The American Animal Hospital Association is the only accrediting body for companion animal hospitals in the United States and Canada.
"Accreditation is voluntary. The hospitals are inviting AAHA in to evaluate how they practice," says Heather Loenser, DVM, veterinary advisor of professional and public affairs for the American Animal Hospital Association. "Vets don't have to do this. That's why accreditation is a big deal, because you know you're going to a practice where the staff wants to be excellent and wants external feedback from leaders in the field.” When a veterinary practice applies for accreditation, the practice is evaluated on approximately 900 standards of veterinary care, ranging from pain management, infectious disease protocols and anesthesia safety to customer service procedures and how medical records are maintained. Facilities are re-evaluated every three years and must pass each time in order to maintain accreditation. The AAHA estimates that about 12 to 15 percent of veterinary practices throughout the United States and Canada are accredited.
"You can still practice excellent medicine and not be accredited, but I think pet owners will notice a difference in team work, pride and high morale of the staff in an accredited hospital.," Dr Loenser says. "The veterinary teams who want to go through accreditation tend to hold themselves to a higher standard - they're often the Type A of the Type A kind of people.” For more information, visit www.aaha.org
