Avoiding Common Euthanasia Mistakes at Your Clinic
presented by Dr. Kathleen Cooney
Live webinar via Zoom on April 28 at 7:30pm ET
Sponsored by:


It’s easier to stick to a routine than make changes. Many veterinary teams assume their euthanasia process is “good enough,” unaware that a few changes could dramatically enhance functionality, client experience, and team morale. Euthanasia work is often overlooked, but it’s an area where thoughtful refinement can have an outsized impact. In this session, we’ll explore the five most common euthanasia-related mistakes clinics make, spanning medical procedures, client interactions, and business standards. Attendees will gain practical insights they can implement immediately to reduce risk, elevate care, and foster a deeper love of vet med.
- Transitioning from less favorable euthanasia practices to preferred standards that reduce risk
- Effectively communicating the importance of improving euthanasia procedures to colleagues
- Discovering reliable ways to troubleshoot when mistakes occur
- Explaining to colleagues why an upgrade to the euthanasia procedure is necessary
Participants will earn 1 RACE-approved CE credit upon successful completion of the quiz after viewing the webinar.
