Continued Education
We’re on a mission to elevate the standards of care for euthanasia in veterinary clinics across the island by providing continued education for your team. Schedule Dr. Vanessa for an informative lunch and learn designed to educate and empower your team with the most compassionate approach to ensuring a peaceful passing of your patient.
Additional support can be provided in designing, updating and improving your clinic’s comfort room as well as establishing clinic protocols around euthanasia. Stay at the forefront of veterinary excellence to better support both pets and their owners during these sensitive moments.
Support with Compassion Fatigue
Classes can be arranged inside or outside the clinic setting as a one time event or on an ongoing basis.
