Cedar Pet Clinic Lake Elmo is a member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the only accrediting organization for small animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Less than 15% of all animals hospitals qualify for AAHA accreditation, which requires regular comprehensive evaluations on over 900 standards of veterinary care. We proudly display the AAHA logo.

At Cedar Pet Clinic Lake Elmo, we believe that quality of life is as important as longevity. Diagnosis and treatment of illness in companion animals is only part of our work; prevention of disease is central to the way we practice medicine. We recommend physical examinations, tailored vaccine protocols, diet review, and regular testing for widespread serious problems such as heartworm disease and feline leukemia.
