The most humane ways to put down a sick pet are by veterinarian appointment and under sedation or anesthesia. Depending on your pet's health condition, your veterinarian may recommend a gentle and quick euthanasia solution in the veins, which will put them to sleep peacefully. Alternatively, lethal doses of barbiturates can be given orally or via injection that will cause the animal to gently slip into unconsciousness until death occurs.

The most humane ways to put down a sick pet are with something like an overdose of sedative medication, an injection of euthanizing drug (such as pentobarbital), or gas chamber. Furthermore, using methods such as decapitation, electrocution and use of carbon dioxide chambers should be avoided. All procedures should take place in a controlled environment that has the potential for limited pain and stress on the animal.
