These standards encompass all aspects of veterinary medicine — from pain management and patient care to team training and medical record keeping — and are continually updated to maintain practices accredited to the vanguard of the profession. “Whenever we go through the process,” Dr. Verdino said, “we don’t just miss out, but we do it brilliantly.” This is another testament to the exceptional veterinary care we provide and how we lead the field with our excellence every day.
