Proud to be an AAHA Accredited Veterinary Practice in Quebec: The Gold Standard for Superior Care
The AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) accreditation is recognized as the reference for veterinary medicine excellence in North America. In Quebec, only about ten practices hold this voluntary and rigorous accreditation. Vet & Cie proudly holds two, guaranteeing the best possible veterinary care.

- Enhanced Surgical Safety: Strict protocols are in place, including constant anesthesia monitoring and sterile practices, minimizing risks for your pet.
- Fast and Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment: AAHA standards require on-site diagnostic services (radiography, laboratory) and a pharmacy, allowing for rapid diagnoses and immediate treatment initiation.
