Peaceful Euthanasia Certification

Approved for 10 CE Hours

About The Course

This course was designed to provide outstanding education in companion animal euthanasia to improve the overall experience for the pet, caregiver and the veterinary team. By completing this course and the required final exam, you will earn the credential of Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian (CPEV, for DVMs) or Professional (CPEP, for other veterinary professionals). You will also earn 10-hours of continuing education credit from the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). The credential requires yearly recertification by taking 4 hours of additional CAETA content.

Note: All are invited to learn with us, but completion does not grant licensure to perform euthanasia. Graduates have an elevated understanding of euthanasia to support their clients and patients. Licensure to perform euthanasia comes from veterinary university, college, and animal shelter/institution program completion.
