A vet comes to your home and performs a brief exam to make sure euthanasia is appropriate. Then, they will administer a sedative. They will then leave you with the pet to say your final goodbye. At that point, they will return and administer a drug that stops the heart. The vet will remove the body if you desire and then notify you when cremation is completed. I will simply never do it any other way.

This sounds much much better than the alternatives. I'm sad to say that we may be approaching this point in the next few years with our cat and it's a comfort to know that such a humane option exists.
