Course Description

Home euthanasia has a very different feeling to it than the hospital setting. There are more variables like location, who is present, distractions, and troubleshooting without the support of the full veterinary team. It requires greater flexibility, time management, and client communication skills. This module will outline the top 10 unique components to home euthanasia and help our students build confidence in providing it. 1 CE credit provided following brief quiz and survey.
