Question: What is Euthanasia?
Answer: Euthanasia translates as "gentle death". In regards to releasing your pet's pain, euthanasia is given as a merciful, peaceful rest after you, the responsible human, has decided it is time to let go. Euthanasia is generally administered by an overdose of barbiturates, through an intravenous catheter, or by standard injection (like a vaccine), causing the heart to stop painlessly. This is the most humane gift you can give your pet when their time has come.
