2026 AAHA Diabetes Management Guidelines for Cats
Diabetes management in cats requires a different approach from diabetes in dogs. With the availability of SGLT2-inhibitor drugs for cats, treatment strategies continue to diverge between these two species. To help primary care providers better serve their feline patients, the AAHA Diabetes Management Guidelines for Cats provides step-by-step guidance on diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of diabetes mellitus in cats.
VMG/AAHA Chart of Accounts
Endorsed by several key veterinary organizations and industry partners, including the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Veterinary Hospital Managers Association (VHMA), and VetPartners, the VMG/AAHA Chart of Accounts is the standard for classifying and aggregating revenue, expense, and balance sheet accounts in small-animal veterinary practice. The AVMA Economics Advisory Research Council initiated and coordinated this effort using previously created materials from VMG and AAHA.
2026 AAHA Oncology Guidelines for Dogs and Cats
Cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in our companion animals, affecting 50% of dogs and ~30% of cats over the age of 10 years.
When a dog or cat is diagnosed with cancer, clients look to primary care veterinarians to guide them in determining the best course of action for the pet and family, whether that be specialty referral, treatment within the practice, or palliative and end-of-life care.
