CE CreditsEuthanasia is one of the most important—and often underexamined—areas of veterinary practice. While many teams rely on familiar routines, small changes can lead to meaningful improvements in patient comfort, client trust, and team morale.

This webinar highlights five common mistakes seen in clinical euthanasia, spanning medical procedures, client interactions, and business standards. Attendees will gain clear, actionable guidance to elevate care and reduce risk.

Attend this webinar to learn more about:
  • 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.
