News and Events

American Animal Hospital Association Accreditation

Northwest Veterinary Clinic recently renewed its accreditation with the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Since 1995, we have regularly undergone inspections by AAHA to ensure that we comply with the association’s high quality standards of care. Our accreditation means that we have met over 900 standards covering nearly every aspect of our clinic, including surgery, pharmacy, laboratory, exam facilities, pet health records, cleanliness, emergency services, dental and nursing care, diagnostic imaging, and anesthesiology. Approximately 15 percent of animal hospitals in North America are accredited by AAHA.

National Pet Wellness

A happy, healthy pet starts with a plan. This program has three steps:

1) Twice-a-year wellness exams. Pets age seven times faster, on average, than people. These exams allow your veterinarian to diagnose and treat any health problems before they become serious. They also provide you with the opportunity to ask questions related to your pet's health and well-being.

2) Disease prevention. Your veterinarian will conduct a risk assessment to determine your pet's exposure to various diseases. Working with your veterinarian, you will be able to develop an individualized wellness and vaccination plan to protect your pet from disease threats.

3) Pet health insurance. Discuss with your veterinarian about the insurance plans and coverages that are available for your pet.

Pet Portals

We are excited to announce that on our website you are able to view your pet's health information, request an appointment, request prescription refills, provide updates including photos for your pet's medical record and ask questions of the staff through our "Pet Mail" mailbox. Once you establish your Pet Portal account you will have access to all of these new services. All you need is an e-mail address and your own password to have access to this secure site. By establishing your own Pet Portal you will also be able to receive quarterly pet health newsletters as well as receive vaccination and other reminders via e-mail.

It is important to realize that dental disease does not reach a particular level and remain there. Dental disease continuously progresses. As dental disease progresses, the treatment becomes more involved, meaning longer and more elaborate (and more costly) dental procedures.
