Euthanasia Training Opportunities
Euthanasia means a humane and stress-free end of life for the animals in shelter care. The IAWF intends to provide those workers who must euthanize the proper training in a supportive and compassionate environment to attain that desired result. In this workshop, you’ll learn about anesthetics and legend drugs, anatomy, proper restraint, injection techniques, equipment, worker safety, legal requirements and verification of death. Instruction will be through lecture, discussion, videos, and hands-on lab work. You’ll watch and will perform animal euthanasia. Everyone must register online.
