Résumé
Companion animal euthanasia is of great emotional, social, ethical, and medical significance because of the strong bond between pets and their owners. Few studies exist quantifying adverse events during and after euthanasia. Such events have profound effects on pet owners, veterinary professionals and veterinary patients. Best practices or standards of care have yet to be established. Companion animal euthanasia warrants further rigorous investigation regarding current veterinary medical practices due to its significant, complex, and far-reaching effects. Literature evaluating human euthanasia and assisted death in countries where such practices are legal can be a useful area of investigation and collaborative inquiry.
