The history of companion animal euthanasia includes a blend of good and bad methodology, the shifting landscape of the human-animal bond, and maturation of the veterinary euthanasia experience. Time has shown us that critical exploration of what once was acceptable will lead the way to modern best practices. Animal welfare remains at the heart of the procedure, with equally matched attention now given to client and veterinary team well-being. Although euthanasia will continue to evolve, it is clear through the twenty-first century advancements, a tipping point of necessary change is upon us.
伴侣动物安乐死的历史包含了好坏参半的方法、人兽关系不断变化的格局以及兽医安乐死经验的成熟。时间向我们表明，对曾经被接受的做法进行批判性探索将引领我们走向现代最佳实践。动物福利仍然是这一过程的核心，现在对客户和兽医团队的福祉也给予了同等的关注。尽管安乐死将继续发展，但通过21世纪的进步可以清楚地看到，我们正处于必要变革的转折点。
