• We Have a Winner!

I'm excited to announce that Janet Roper is the winner of a $50 credit toward a visit to an AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital!

The credit, which I won at BlogPaws, was announced in a previous blog post. Blog visitors entered the contest simply by commenting. 

My hamster, Winnie, picked the winner!

I wrote numbers 1 through 28—one for each comment—on slips of paper. I spread out the papers, blank side up, and waited. Winnie did not disappoint. Immediately she selected and chewed the number 10 slip of paper. We had a winner—Janet Roper, who made the tenth comment.

People who commented on the blog were overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the AAHA. "It's a mark that helps you know you can trust someone," said Life with Dogs and Cats. "I just learned the Vet clinic that I have been taking my kitties to is NOT AAHA accredited," said Laurie Smith. "I have found the list of clinics in my area that are; this summer I will be making sure my fur kids have a doctor/clinic that meets these guidelines!"

Veterinary student Carolina summed it up. "All veterinary hospitals want to treat your pets the best they can but with AAHA-accredited animal hospitals you KNOW FOR SURE they are performing the best care for your pet. These clinics have to follow certain rules and regulations to keep their accreditation and as a former employee of an AAHA veterinary clinic I can assure you that being accredited makes a clinic run more efficiently because technicians as well as veterinarians and receptionists work as a team to give the client and their pets the best quality service."

Janet Roper goes to an AAHA-accredited vet. And so does my Winnie. To find an AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital near you, go to the AAHA-accredited hospital locator

    1. I had so much fun choosing a winner that way. I'll take part in a raffle-copter if I really want something, but otherwise it's too much work (that's just me). Thanks, Hawk!

    1. That's a shame. Could you approach your vet and ask if they're willing to apply?

    1. Most definitely every pet deserves the best care! Vet care is expensive, for one, and we love our pets.
