What is a Fear Free Euthanasia?

By Kathleen Cooney | December 10, 2018

By Kathleen Cooney, DVM, MS, CHPV Founder, Director of Education for the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy The Fear Free movement is alive and well thanks to the Fear Free Pet initiative, led my Dr. Marty Becker. The goal of the Fear Free program, within every veterinary appointment, is to reduce Fear, Anxiety, and Stress,…

The certificate program is a combination of lecture and laboratory sessions over 1.5 days, following the theme of CAETA’s The 14 Essential Components of Companion Animal Euthanasia. Students will be provided a euthanasia textbook, proceedings, a certificate of completion, seal of excellence for marketing materials, and permanent access to the CAETA online library. Testing takes place online through our online testing platform. The test can be taken onsite after the completion of the program or taken within 1 week offsite. A passing grade of 80% is required to receive the certificate.

Our programs are offered multiple times a year, and around June 2018, we will launch our online modules. We limit each onsite training session to 50 participants to promote a more intimate learning experience. Everyone will have time to share case successes and challenges.

Our instructors are leaders in the field of end-of-life care. Combined, we have been training euthanasia techniques to veterinarians, technicians, and veterinary students for over 15 years. We have authored books on end-of-life care and bring real-world personal and professional perspectives to the coursework.
