View our Hospital Tour

Since 1984, Scottsdale Veterinary Hospital has voluntarily complied with rigorous standards of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) qualifying as an AAHA member hospital.

AAHA standards pertain to facilities equipment, practice methods and management. Membership in the AAHA is available to any veterinary hospital in the United States and Canada that meets the high standards of medical practice and hospital procedures established by AAHA, provided the hospital director subscribes to the principles of the association.

Scottsdale Veterinary Hospital is a proud member of the American Animal Hospital Association.

Evidence of compliance with these standards is determined through periodic, on-site thorough evaluations by field representatives of the association.

We are also proud to have been selected by B.C. Guide Dogs and the Delta K-9 Police Force as their primary care givers. Keeping these working canines in the best of health has been both challenging and rewarding.

Animal Health Technicians (AHTs)
We are fortunate to have seven certified AHTs working at Scottsdale Veterinary Hospital. In order for them to attain their AHT diploma they must complete 2 full years of training (anesthesia, parasitology, anatomy etc.) at a recognized veterinary technician college. Our Animal Health Technicians attend advanced technician seminars in internal medicine, dental seminars and local updating lectures through the BCVMA. To be a registered AHT, yearly continued education is a requirement.

Reception Staff
We are proud of our reception staff whom take great joy in meeting you and your pets. They offer helpful advice and book your pets in for veterinary visits. All of our reception staff have had either formal post secondary training or have more than ten years experience.
