The most humane ways to put down a sick pet include euthanasia with an injection of a sedative and pain medication, or through physician-assisted suicide using veterinary-recommended dosages of medications. Alternatively, another option is to use an End Sedative Method, where the pet is placed in a coma and left to pass peacefully. These methods provide an end to suffering and ensure that the pet dies without feeling any pain or distress.

The most humane ways to put down a sick pet are through euthanasia and assisted suicide. Euthanasia is when the animal is administered anesthesia in such a way that they fall asleep and then never wake up. Assisted suicide is when the pet owner, veterinarian, or another person gives the pet an overdose of medication that brings about a painless death. A third method called hydrodynamic therapy or hydrotherapy involves placing the animal in an air-tight tank filled with sedatives and pain relievers followed by gentle submersion in warm water which causes unconsciousness and eventually death due to lack of oxygen.
