Some reviews from our students

Testimonials

Diane Grasso, DVM

Mobile Practice Owner

“I greatly appreciated the hands-on lab as it provided an opportunity to practice all the techniques. Also glad to learn details about paw prints, body handling, etc, because these details are so very important. Having one hour blocks was fantastic. Dr. Cooney was so nurturing to all of us. I have never, in 30 years of post-graduate CE courses, had a conference be so enjoyable. I wish all CE could follow this model. Thank you to the entire CAETA team.”

Joe Rosenberg, DVM

Paniolo Equine Veterinary Services

“The techniques and protocols I learned at a recent CAETA course have improved the quality of service I can offer my at-home euthanasia clients.”

Miranda Braithwaite, DVM, MPH, MA

Sauk Point Veterinary Clinic

“Thank you for creating CAETA. Euthanasia is such an important part of our practice, and I'm glad someone is out there educating about how to make it peaceful. I learned so much in such a short time and was inspired by so many wonderful people I met along the way. I'm excited to use these skills as a part of my practice.”

Mavi Graves, DVM

Caring Pathways, LLC

“As a veterinarian who works exclusively in palliative and end-of-life care, I rely on my CAETA training every single day. Euthanasia is equal parts science and art and the CAETA Master Program gave me the tools to master both. Even when I am navigating the challenge of peripheral edema in a patient whose owner is anxious and upset, I’m able to remain calm and responsive to both animal and human and ultimately deliver a good death. Beyond the course, I receive ongoing support and instruction from the online CAETA community and best of all, I’ve discovered a veterinary niche that is incredibly meaningful and enables me to thrive in my life. I honestly love performing euthanasia and clients express their appreciation daily for my skill set.”

Laurie Brush, DVM

Heaven at Home Pet Hospice

“Dr. Kathy Cooney gave me the confidence to gently guide my clients through this very difficult time so that they would have no regrets. She is such a valuable resource to me! My business continues to grow and I continue to learn from her. I attended her Euthanasia Techniques Lab and can’t say enough about the benefit of this hands-on learning opportunity.”
