1.  American Animal Care Center is the only hospital in the Tri-City area to receive any local awards by newspapers and other local media.
2.  American Animal Care Center is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association. Less than 14% meet the high requirements set by the leader in hospital standards.  These standards are much more stringent than current state requirements.  There are over 900 written standards that we comply with.  See AAHA link below.
3.  We have been in business for over 22 years.  We are not a fly by operation and we have been very successful.  We have either remodeled or relocated over 5 times!  We have over 57,000 clients and over 90,000 patients and it keeps growing!
4.  We save you money.  We shop the competition regularly to ensure you that we offer the best prices so that your pet can live better and have a longer life.  We have extremely affordable prices.  We guarantee the best prices and we honor competitor coupons.
5.  We have the best facility in the area.  Our hospital was designed by an award winning veterinary architect who specializes in veterinary hospital design.  Our facilities were designed with pets in mind.  The facilities design and comforts are above and beyond any pet hospital in the area.
6.  We are very convenient.  We are available seven days a week, 365 days a year!  We are available for evening appointments without any hidden emergency fees.
7.  We are a family owned operation and we take personal interest in our customers.  We want to see our customers for the next 100+ years.  We are not corporate owned and none of our veterinarians are on commission.  We are not regulated by any quotas, sales, or goals.  We believe that we must serve our clients and do the right thing for every pet and every client.
8.  We support the Tri-City community.  We give back tens of thousands to local non-profits and community groups serving the Tri-City area.
9. We are a one stop shop for all of your pet care needs!  We offer boarding, grooming, and pet supply sales along with total veterinary care for your pets.

10. We are a high tech hospital.  We are not aware of any hospital that has these high tech technologies. We embrace high tech tools to keep our customer educated and ensuring the best pet care.  From the moment you walk in, you will be welcomed by high quality LCD screens that educate you about proper pet care.  Our examination rooms have interactive kiosks which allow you to visualize animal anatomy as well as learn about home care such as brushing your pet’s teeth or even how to care for your pet after a big surgery.  They have digital x-rays that allow your pet to get instant x-rays that have very high resolution.  The veterinarian is able to see things more clearly and can do close up views of different organs.  There are no artifacts that get in the way of interpretation.  In-house lab machines allow for rapid reporting of results.  In critical cases, it is very important to get immediate answers when your pet is sick.  Laser Surgery is available to ensure that your pet suffers less and feels less pain after surgery. 

11.  We are a multi-doctor hospital and we readily consult each other as the need arises.  This also ensures that another veterinarian is familiar with your pet in case your desired veterinarian is not readily available.  Our veterinarians are adequately rested.  We don’t have one veterinarian work a 7am to midnight as some of our competitors do.  Our veterinarians are adequately supported by a lot of receptionists, assistants, and technicians.

12.  There is a veterinarian on the premises overnight.  Your pet is not left to fend for himself in the hopes that he will be okay when someone sees him in the morning.

13.  We don’t experiment on your pet!  Your pet will certainly be one of many patients that we’ve seen.   Each of our veterinarians has seen thousands of cases and has performed several thousands in surgeries.  We will balance the need for performing diagnostic tests and treatments with the need to ensure affordability and any adverse effects of such tests and treatments.

14.  American Animal Care Center was the first veterinary hospital in the entire Bay Area to perform Laser Surgery on Pets!  It was unheard of at the time.  Since then, we have performed thousands of Laser Surgery procedures.  There is a large learning curve with lasers and not everyone is well versed in its use. 

15. Dr. Raj Salwan is a local pet pro.  He writes regular veterinary columns regarding pet care in the local newspaper, The Argus.
