FULL SERVICE AAHA MEMBER HOSPITAL
(American Animal Hospital Association)
WHAT IS AAHA AND WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
AAHA stands for American Animal Hospital Association. To be accredited by AAHA, our practice must demonstrate an exceptional high level of care and service. AAHA's rigorous standards cover every aspect of a companion animal hospital.
To maintain our status as an AAHA-accredited practice, our team voluntarily undergoes a periodic, comprehensive on-site evaluation. We are judged according to our level of compliance with over 900 standards. We are proud to be an AAHA-accredited practice and believe it keeps us on the leading edge and focused on providing you and your pet with the quality and range of services you expect and deserve.
Just to mention a few, some of the sections covered are Exams, Dentistry, Medical Records, Laboratory, Radiology, Pharmacy, Anesthesiology, Surgery, Pain Management and Nursing Care, Client service, Leadership, and safet. Each section contains 12 to 201 standards.
Delivering the quality care that you expect requires a network of veterinary professionals working to their fullest potential in a variety of roles. As an AAHA-accredited practice, excellence is the cornerstone of our practices philosophy. We believe that the best veterinary care requires a team effort in every area.
OUR GOAL
Our Goal is to provide Excellent medicine, Excellent Service through Excellent Teamwork!
MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of Shadow Lake Animal Hospital to provide superior preventive and therapeutic health care for each patient, stressing the highest possible quality of service for each owner.
"In a world where honesty and integrity are in short supply, we try to deliver veterinary service that has both. The people here love what they do, and we hope it shows. I love what I do, and plan to continue in veterinary care for many more years!"
Jeffrey M. Cooper, D.V.M.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR PET'S SIGNS OF PAIN?
Many times owners tell us that their pet is “slowing down” assuming that it is because they are aging. Many owners do not realize that what they are seeing may be because the pet is in pain because of arthritis. Arthritis can be one pain causing factor, but injury or over-activity can also cause "slowing down" because of the discomfort.
What are signs that I should look for that could indicate that my dog is in pain?
*Diminished appetite
*Frequent or sudden fatigue
*Appearance of a limp
*Stiffness when standing up
*Difficulty walking up or down stairs
*Less frequent jumping or running or Increased time spent lying around
*Slower movement in cold weather
*Discomfort when joints are touched.
There are several pain-controlling options such as weight management, nutrition counseling and water-based exercise along with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs).
With the medicines available today there are many ways to assure that your pet does not live in discomfort. A few of the medications are Cosequin, MSM (a natural anti-inflammatory & analgesic), and Deramaxx(NSAIDs).
Call us if we can help you decide which type of pain management is bust for your pet and your family's lifestyle.
