News

We are excited to announce that ACCES was a winner of the 2008 Mayor’s Small Business award! Only 10 businesses receive this award each year. The businesses are chosen on the basis of excellence in management, entrepreneurial spirit, and customer service and community involvement.

We have received a lot of support over the past 5 years that ACCES has been open.  As a way to say “thank you” in a real way, ACCES has become more involved in giving back to the community in a few unique ways.

Activities

 

Helping Save the Environment:

ACCES is certified 5-stars by the nationally recognized Envirostar Program. Certified Envirostars businesses are given a two-to-five star rating based on their commitment to reducing hazardous waste.  The higher the star rating, the more proactive the business has been in protecting the environment.  Because of our environmentally conscious practices, we help: reduce waste, voluntarily comply with dangerous waste & air quality regulations, have increased reuse and recycling of hazardous materials, decreased toxicity and use of toxic materials through alternative products or processes, and select services and products based on environmental considerations.  We have also set specific goals to reduce hazardous waste over the next year and continue to look for ways to reduce negative effects on the environment.

Adopting a LocalPark:

ACCES has recently taken on the responsibility of park steward on behalf of Citizens for Off-Leash Areas and the Seattle Parks department.  We will be making some improvements to the grounds so members of our community can enjoy going to the park with their dogs.

First-Aid Services:

ACCES often goes to animal-related events during the summer months to educate people about our services.  At many of these events, ACCES serves as the on-site first aid.  We provide a veterinarian, a technician and/or assistant, and medical supplies.  Should a fight break out, an animal get overheated, or any other situation occur, ACCES is there to help!

We highly value knowledge and are dedicated at ACCES to keeping up with the latest veterinary medicine.  We also believe sharing the advanced knowledge we acquire with other members of the veterinary community.  ACCES often hosts medical seminars and classes open to anyone in the veterinary field

Helping Animals in Need:

Animal Critical Care and Emergency Services offers advice and medical aid to pets from the Seattle Humane Society, Seattle Animal Control and King County Care and Control. We're working together to improve the lives in shelters.
