I think you answered your own question in your first sentence.I don't have pets, so I never face the problem. But I don't get that vets are "more humane"? What could be more humane than a bullet to the brain - your pet being alive one second and dead the next? Most humans won't have a death that easy.
Coonhounds get inside your head and heart.Just had to put my Red Bone Coon hound to sleep, when I was younger these things did not seem to bother me as bad but as I get older seems like the tears sure flow easily. She was a great dog, slept on the end of my daughters bed for 14 years. We spoiled her more than we should have but she re payed us in spades. Gonna miss that hound greatly and now my Lab seems a little lost but I am sure she will move on also. Damn Dogs become such a part of the family it is incredible. When I was a kid growing up on the farm dogs came and went, never seemed to phase me but this one seemed to get to me. RIP Carma Coon dog.
I have not had to be personally responsible for this duty, but I know the day is coming.
I discussed this with a veterinarian once and they strongly suggested that you (owner) should be there when the injection is given. The vet said that when the owners choose to leave before the injection, the left behind pet always looks for them.
I figure I should be there for the pets sake when it happens. I don't know how I would feel about myself if I left a loved pet to meet its end alone or among strangers.
