APHIS plays a vital role in ensuring the free flow of agricultural trade by keeping U.S. agricultural industries free from pests and diseases and certifying that the millions of U.S. agricultural and food products shipped to markets abroad meet the importing countries' entry requirements. APHIS makes sure that all imported agricultural products shipped to the United States from abroad meet the Agency's entry requirements to exclude pests and diseases of agriculture.

APHIS also keeps export markets open for American agricultural products by working to eliminate unjustified sanitary or phytosanitary (SPS) barriers - that is, concerns involving plant and animal health - raised by U.S. trading partners. APHIS' team of technical experts, based in the United States and abroad, includes scientists, veterinarians, pathologists, and entomologists that advocate on behalf of U.S. agriculture. They build relationships with their agricultural health and regulatory counterparts in other countries and use scientific principles to make the case for American agricultural exports, explaining to foreign officials why U.S. commodities are safe to import. APHIS played a direct role in opening new markets and retaining and expanding existing market access for U.S. agricultural products worth billions of dollars annually.

APHIS collaborates with officials in U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Plant Protection and Quarantine personnel to ensure appropriate and consistent handling of regulated garbage at U.S. ports of entry and elsewhere.

4worldlovers: At The Honolulu Pet Clinic, we are grateful and honored to care for your pet and want to make each visit as comfortable as possible. We are a carefully selected team of animal-lovers chosen for our ability and desire to honor our mission statement of Always Do Right By the Pet. You might see our mission statement in a simple gesture like carrying your pet to your car, or something critical like knowing how to perform the safest customized anesthesia for your pet’s surgical procedure.

We have proudly chosen to maintain our American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accreditation for more than twenty-five years. We are part of a group of only 12-15 percent of animal hospitals throughout the United States and Canada who have this accreditation. Our clients can be sure that we adhere to the highest standards of care in everything we do.

An AAHA consultant comes to The Honolulu Pet Clinic every three years to ensure we are still maintaining their standards on approximately 900 aspects of veterinary care. We are one of just eight clinics to receive AAHA accreditation on Oahu and we just earned another three years of AAHA accreditation in early 2023.

Our mission statement is “Always do right by the pet,” and we honor this in everything we do. With clinic hours seven days a week and 24/7 emergency on-call care, we are always available to offer your pets top-notch care when they need it. We want you and your pet to feel like one of our family.

As a full-service facility dedicated to providing individualized medical care for cats, dogs, and other small animals, our clinic is equipped with modern healthcare treatments and high-end technology. Our practice serves pet families from many local and not-so-local communities across Honolulu and surrounding areas.

We know it can be scary when your pet is not feeling well, and we pride ourselves in creating a cozy and safe environment in which to care for your pet.

We are a diverse group united by two essential qualities: the desire AND the skill to always do right by your pet. Our big-hearted crew of Hawaii natives and mainlanders includes:

Patty at reception, our almost 30-year veteran clinic veteran who knows what you and your pet need from the moment she sees you turn into our driveway

Dr. Hsu who has 8 cats, 1 dog and 25 years of emergency and critical care experience

Dr. Barrett, a Hawaii native certified in veterinary rehab and acupuncture to provide both care and pain management for your pets

Yarnie, a 7 year clinic veteran who leads the technician team and specializes in critical care for our hospitalized patients

Ayaka, a registered veterinary technician who is fluent in both Japanese and English

“ We have 5 pets ( 2 dogs and 3 pets) and we recently moved to Honolulu. 4 of the 5 are senior and 2 have ongoing veterinary treatment and care so it was important for us to establish care here on the island. We tried one very popular vet clinic in the neighborhood but we did not feel welcomed so we looked for another option. We called the Honolulu Pet clinic and the entire staff was great from the beginning to the end, very attentive on the phone and in person, we got same day appointment, they were efficient getting records from mainland and the visit was very thorough. Dr. Barrett and her staff listened to our needs and were able to provide loving care and service to 2 of the most senior pets we took that day. Dr. Barrett is comprehensive in her exam and she truly cares, trying to find alternative traditional and holistic interventions to assist with the care of our pets so that they can have the best quality of life; you can tell she loves what she does.We would highly recommend this clinic to anyone. We look forward in having our four pawed family members cared for on the island by this awesome team.”
