Why CAETA Certification Matters—And Why Dr. Josy Is the Right Choice for Your Pet
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most challenging moments any pet parent can face. It’s emotional, overwhelming, and deeply personal. At such a vulnerable time, it’s essential to have the right veterinarian—someone who not only understands the medical side of euthanasia, but also honors the emotional journey you and your pet are on.
That’s where CAETA certification comes in—and why Dr. Josy of Bailey Caring Mobile Vet is uniquely qualified to support your family when it matters most.
What Is CAETA Certification?
CAETA stands for the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy. It’s the gold standard in training for veterinarians who want to provide not just euthanasia, but peaceful, compassionate end-of-life care.
Veterinarians who earn CAETA’s Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian (CPEV) credential receive advanced education in:
Gentle, low-stress handling of pets
Sedation and anesthesia techniques that prioritize comfort
Clear and empathetic communication with grieving families
Emotional support before, during, and after the procedure
It’s not just about what happens in the final moments—it’s about making the entire experience as calm and loving as possible for everyone involved.
Why Peaceful Euthanasia Training Matters
Euthanasia is never just a procedure—it’s a memory that stays with a family forever. Done well, it can be a peaceful, healing goodbye. Done poorly, it can add trauma to an already heartbreaking experience.
CAETA-certified veterinarians are trained to make sure:
Your pet feels safe, calm, and pain-free
You feel supported, informed, and heard
The environment (especially when done at home) allows for privacy, reflection, and love
It’s about turning a difficult moment into a gentle one.
What Sets Dr. Josy Apart
Dr. Josyvette M. Mercado-Berrios (Dr. Josy) is not only a skilled mobile veterinarian—she is now a CAETA-Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian.
Her certification is more than just a title. It reflects her heartfelt commitment to:
Providing home-based euthanasia in a quiet, familiar space
Using compassionate techniques to reduce fear and pain for pets
Offering emotional support and guidance to families at every step
Treating each pet with dignity, kindness, and respect—right to the very end
Dr. Josy chose this path because she believes your pet deserves to be surrounded by love and comfort, and you deserve the reassurance that you’re not alone in the process.
When the Time Comes, You Deserve the Best Care
Choosing a veterinarian to guide your pet’s final moments is an emotional decision—but it doesn’t have to be a confusing one.
With her CAETA certification, her gentle home visits, and her deep compassion for both animals and people, Dr. Josy is the right choice for families who want a peaceful, respectful, and love-filled goodbye.
Your pet deserves the best care—especially at the end.
And with Dr. Josy, that’s precisely what they’ll receive.
What is COHAT, and why is it so important?
COHAT may leave you wondering, “What kind of hat?”
COHAT stands for Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment.
In other words, COHAT means an assessment of the whole mouth, including an oral exam and dental X-ray, related to the patient’s overall health and habits, and a treatment plan created for any problems found.
You may wonder, “I get my pet's dental cleanings yearly. Do I still need COHAT for my pet?”
The short answer is yes.
A general dental cleaning alone does very little for oral health. Dental cleanings clean the crowns of the teeth without treating any conditions below the gum line.
They make the teeth look cleaner and temporarily help the pet’s breath smell better. Steer clear of any place that offers “anesthesia-free dentistry,” an inhumane service.
COHAT completed by a veterinarian or veterinary dentist will find any problems that cleanings alone cannot and devise a plan to treat them before they worsen.
You will spend less time and money in the long run.
Oral health affects the whole body. COHAT finds and treats dental problems before they get so severe that they cause problems for the jaw, the sinuses, and essential organs in the body.
COHATs can prevent periodontal disease, a risk factor for liver and kidney disease. It can avoid jaw fractures due to oral disease.
This means less time and money treating complications associated with dental disease. The dental X-ray provided in a true COHAT alone can save you repeat visits to the vet for oral health problems.
COHAT is so much better for your pet
Pets try to hide pain; this instinct serves animals well in the wild.
Your pet could be in severe dental pain, and you wouldn’t know. Dental pain can go unnoticed with dental cleanings that do not include a full-mouth dental X-ray.
In short, COHAT helps keep your pets healthy and does not cost much money on the front end.
What is included in a COHAT?
COHAT is hard to define in exact terms because it is so customizable. Every patient is unique, so each COHAT is different. However, some essential elements of COHAT are used in every patient.
Every true COHAT will include:
A review of pre-anesthetic blood work is ideally performed on the same procedure day.
An assessment of the pet’s medical records with attention to medical history, physical exams, and dietary and chewing habits
A thorough oral exam
Dental probing and charting
Full mouth pre- and postoperative (sometimes intraoperative) dental X-ray.
create and execute a treatment plan for any problems found. We extract diseased teeth. We do not perform root canals, crowns or bone grafts.
Discharge instructions, including pain control and feeding instructions
A plan for at home dental care and a future COHAT.
When to use dental X-ray: Always. Here’s why.
Dental X-rays (Dental Radiographs) are crucial for accurately diagnosing and treating dental health. Dental X-rays before, during, and after the procedure significantly affect the quality of dental care.
Without Dental X-rays, you see the tip of the iceberg. More than 50 % of the teeth in dogs and cats are below the gum line. The tooth's visible part gives you less than half the necessary information.
Dental X-rays are just a little more expensive upfront; however, the health risks for pets and financial risks far outweigh the minimal extra cost.
Why dental radiographs are always a good idea:
It is the best use of anesthesia time.
A dental X-ray shows which teeth need to be extracted, if any! Sometimes, an oral exam indicates that a tooth needs to be extracted, but the dental X-ray shows otherwise.
Often, the opposite is true. The dental X-ray shows that a seemingly healthy tooth needs to be extracted. If a tooth needs to come out, the X-ray greatly informs the most efficient, least traumatic, and most straightforward way to extract it.
An X-ray during the procedure, called an intra-operative X-ray, can show that the job is complete or that more work is needed.
This tooth appeared fine during the oral exam.
The X-ray shows abscesses and tooth resorption, which are painful conditions. The post-operative X-ray shows complete removal of the diseased tooth. The patient healed quickly and felt much better after surgery.
Dental X-ray completely informs the procedure.
Without a dental X-ray, please be prepared for surprises. For example, with conditions like severe periodontal disease, the jaw is often not in good shape before a dental procedure. A frail jaw can easily fracture during surgery—not a good surprise!
Check out this pre-operative X-ray below, taken before any surgery was done. This X-ray shows the owner that teeth must be extracted and a splint applied.
Pre-existing pathology, like jaw integrity, needs to be documented. Pre-operative X-rays show the condition, and post-surgery X-rays prove a job well done.
It can be hard to explain harrowing dental conditions because animals rarely show signs of dental pain, and many dental conditions involve the part of the tooth that cannot be seen (the tooth below the gum line).
Dental X-rays can reveal how much pain a pet experiences.
Without a dental X-ray, you cannot know what is going on under the gum line.
Clients say their pets’ teeth have been “cleaned” every year.
They think their pet has a healthy, pain-free mouth.
Sadly, the crowns of the teeth were cleaned every year, and the issues below the gum line were not addressed.
Then these clients learn that even though their pet had a yearly cleaning, it has been in pain all along, and the condition has worsened. Imagine how you might feel in their position!
Without COHAT, which includes a thorough dental probing, charting, and dental X-ray, a crown “cleaning” is useless.

Ensuring Your Pet's Health: The Importance of Veterinary Dental Teeth Extraction
In the picturesque landscapes of Bailey, Colorado, where the crisp mountain air intertwines with the serenity of nature, pet owners share their lives with beloved companions—dogs and cats who become cherished family members.
Amidst the beauty of this idyllic setting, ensuring the well-being of these furry friends becomes paramount.
Dr. Josy, the compassionate veterinarian behind Bailey Caring Mobile Vet, understands this sentiment all too well. With her mobile vet service, she brings quality healthcare directly to pet owners' doorsteps, offering a range of services, including crucial dental assessment for further care.
Dental health is often overlooked concerning pets, yet it plays a vital role in their well-being.
Like humans, dogs and cats require regular dental care to maintain healthy teeth and gums. However, despite our best efforts, dental issues can arise, sometimes necessitating tooth extractions—a procedure that Dr. Josy is very familiar with and emphasizes the importance of for the health of your furry companions.
Imagine your dog or cat experiencing persistent discomfort, difficulty eating or signs of oral pain. These could indicate dental problems such as periodontal disease, fractured teeth, or overcrowding. Ignoring these issues can lead to severe consequences, impacting your pet's oral health and overall quality of life.
This is only 1 area where Dr. Josy's expertise and mobile veterinary service become invaluable.
Dr. Josy approaches each case with expertise, empathy, and a commitment to providing the best possible care for her patients.
Whether it's a routine dental check-up or a complex multiple extraction procedure.
Dr. Josy's gentle approach and dedication to excellence shines through.
One of the most common reasons for dental teeth extraction in pets is periodontal disease—a progressive condition that affects the tissues surrounding the teeth. Without proper intervention, periodontal disease can lead to pain, infection, tooth loss, and even systemic health issues as bacteria from the mouth entering the bloodstream.
Dr. Josy emphasizes the importance of regular dental exams and cleanings to prevent the onset of periodontal disease and other dental issues.
While the thought of dental surgery may be daunting for pet owners, Dr. Josy's experience and compassionate approach alleviate any concerns, instilling confidence that their furry companions are in capable hands.
It's important to recognize that dental issues in pets often manifest silently. Pets mask their discomfort until the problem becomes too severe to ignore. This is why regular dental check-ups are crucial, even for seemingly healthy animals.
By detecting and addressing dental issues early on, Dr. Josy can help prevent unnecessary pain and suffering and save pet owners from costly and invasive treatments.
Fractured teeth are another common concern among pet owners, especially those with dogs who enjoy chewing on hard objects or cats who engage in rough play. A broken tooth can be painful and predispose the pet to infection.
In such cases, Dr. Josy may recommend extraction to alleviate pain and prevent further complications. With her veterinary services, she can ensure prompt attention to such cases, minimize discomfort, and restore the pet's oral health.
Overcrowded or misaligned teeth can pose significant problems for pets, leading to difficulty eating, oral pain, and an increased risk of dental disease.
Extraction may be necessary to alleviate discomfort and prevent further oral health issues.
Before making recommendations, Dr. Josy assesses each case individually, considering the pet's age, overall health, and specific dental needs.
Post-operative care is an essential aspect of the dental extraction process. Dr. Josy will provide comprehensive guidance to pet owners to help with a smooth recovery for your furry companions.
From pain management to dietary recommendations, she equips pet owners with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively support their pets' healing process.
As responsible pet owners, we must prioritize the health and well-being of our furry companions, including addressing their dental health needs.
With Dr. Josy's experience, patience, and compassionate care, pet owners in the Bailey, Colorado, area can rest assured that their pets receive the highest, most individualized standard of dental care.
When necessary, investing in veterinary dental teeth extraction enhances our pets' quality of life and contributes to their long-term health and happiness.
In the heart of Bailey, Colorado where the mountains meet the sky and the bond between humans and animals runs deep, Dr. Josy stands as a beacon of compassion and expertise, ensuring that a healthy smile accompanies every tail wag and every purr of contentment.

Keeping Your Pet Smiling: Why Veterinary Dental Cleanings Are Important
When was the last time you brushed your pet's teeth? Many pet owners don't realize that just like us, pets need regular dental care to maintain good oral health.
While daily brushing is ideal, it's only sometimes feasible, and that's where veterinary dental cleanings come in.
Dr. Josy at Bailey Caring Mobile Vet can provide your pet with a thorough cleaning.
Why Dental Cleanings Matter
Like in humans, pet's teeth can accumulate plaque and tartar, a hardened substance that brushing alone can't remove. Left untreated, this buildup can lead to periodontal disease, a serious infection that affects the gums and tissues surrounding the teeth.
Periodontal disease can cause pain, bad breath, and even tooth loss. More concerning, it can also contribute to other health problems like heart disease, liver disease, and kidney disease.
Signs Your Pet Needs a Dental Cleaning
Here are some signs that your pet may be overdue for a dental cleaning:
Bad breath: This is a common sign of dental disease.
Redness and bleeding around the gum line: Healthy gums should be pink and firm.
Yellow or brown plaque build-up: Plaque hardens into tartar over time.
Exposed roots: This can be a sign of advanced periodontal disease.
The Veterinary Dental Cleaning Process
At Bailey Caring Mobile Vet, Dr. Josy will perform a complete oral exam to assess your pet's dental health.
This will include checking for signs of periodontal disease and any loose or fractured teeth, as the pet allows.
If a dental cleaning is necessary, your pet will be placed under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort and safety throughout the procedure. Dental X-rays will be performed in each case to examine each tooth below the gum lines.
During the cleaning, Dr. Josy will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar and then polish the teeth to remove microscopic scratches that can harbor bacteria.
What to Expect After the Cleaning
Once the dental procedure is complete, your pet will be monitored closely as they recover from anesthesia.
Dr. Josy will provide detailed instructions on post-operative care, including pain medication and a special diet if needed.
Your pet may be groggy for a few hours, but they should return to their normal selves within a day or two.
Modern Anesthesia and Patient Comfort
At Bailey Caring Mobile Vet, we understand how important your pet's safety and comfort are. That's why we use only the most modern and safest anesthesia protocols, specially tailored for each pet.
Our surgical suite is also equipped with advanced monitoring and patient-warming capabilities to ensure your pet is safe throughout the procedure and wakes up comfortably as soon as it's finished.
Investing in Your Pet's Oral Health
Veterinary dental cleanings may seem like an extra expense, but they are essential to your pet's overall health care. Regular dental cleanings can help prevent periodontal disease and other serious health problems, saving you money in the long run.
More importantly, they will help your pet live a longer, happier, and pain-free life.
Schedule a Dental Consultation Today
If you're concerned about your pet's dental health, or if it's been a while since they've had a cleaning, contact Bailey Caring Mobile Vet today.
Dr. Josy can provide your pet with a dental consultation in your home and discuss a personalized treatment plan to keep your furry friend smiling for years.
Remember, a healthy mouth is a healthy and happy pet!

When Saying Goodbye is an Act of Love: In-Home Euthanasia for Your Beloved Pet
As a veterinarian, I've dedicated my career to the health and well-being of animals. But there comes a time when the focus shifts from treatment to comfort, making difficult decisions for our furry companions.
I understand the profound emotional weight of saying goodbye to a pet at Bailey Caring Mobile Vet, serving the Bailey, Colorado, area. That's why I offer in-home euthanasia services, allowing you to honor your pet's final moments in the familiar comfort of their own home.
The Benefits of In-Home Euthanasia
While a clinical setting provides sterile equipment and advanced procedures, it can feel impersonal and add to your pet's anxiety. In-home euthanasia offers a gentler, more dignified farewell for your furry friend:
Reduced Stress: A vet visit can be stressful for healthy pets and those facing illness. A familiar environment makes your pet calmer and more at ease during their final moments.
Privacy and Dignity: Surrounded by loved ones in their own space, your pet can experience a peaceful passing with minimal external stimuli. This tranquility is a testament to our commitment to providing a serene environment for your pet's final moments.
Quality Time for Goodbyes: The home setting allows for a more intimate experience. You can spend quality time with your pet, offering comfort and love as they transition.
Control Over the Environment: With in-home euthanasia, you can create a calming atmosphere with familiar sights, sounds, and smells. This personalization allows you to tailor the experience to your pet's needs, making the process less jarring and more respectful for both you and your pet.
What to Expect During an In-Home Euthanasia Appointment
Dr. Josy will arrive at your home fully equipped to perform the procedure. Here's a general outline of what to expect:
Initial Consultation: We'll discuss your pet's condition and your concerns and answer any questions you may have about the process.
Pre-Procedure Discussion: We'll explain the steps involved in euthanasia and obtain your informed consent.
Creating a Calm Environment: We'll help you create a comfortable and calming space for your pet.
Administering Medication: A gentle sedative will be administered first, followed by a painless injection to end your pet's suffering peacefully.
Confirmation of Passing: Dr. Josy will confirm your pet's passing and offer some privacy for a final goodbye.
Additional Considerations:
Timing the Appointment: Choosing a time when you can be fully present and emotionally available for your pet is crucial.
Involving Children: Decide if and how you want to involve your children. Open communication is key, but their emotional well-being should be considered.
Aftercare Options: Dr. Josy can and will discuss aftercare options, including private vs communal cremation.
Making the Difficult Decision
Knowing when to say goodbye to your pet is a deeply personal decision. Here are some signs that in-home euthanasia might be the right choice:
Untreatable Terminal Illness: When your pet's quality of life significantly declines due to an incurable illness, in-home euthanasia can provide a peaceful and dignified end.
Chronic Pain Management: If your pet experiences chronic pain that is unresponsive to treatment and significantly impacts their daily life, euthanasia may be a compassionate option.
Advanced Age and Deteriorating Health: As your pet ages, their health may naturally decline. When essential functions become difficult, in-home euthanasia can offer a gentle passing.
Remember, you are not alone in this difficult decision. Dr. Josy is here to offer support and guidance throughout the process. I understand the emotional weight of letting go, and we'll be there every step of the way.
