They establish guidelines and protocols for the ethical treatment of animals and the best practices in veterinary medicine. Option B, AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association), is also a reputable organization in the veterinary field but focuses more on accrediting veterinary hospitals based on specific standards of practice rather than setting standards of care for patients.
