To purchase euthanasia medication for dogs, go to a proper pet store or a licensed pharmacy. Dog euthanasia drugs are typically injectables; common methods use potassium chloride or sodium pentobarbital injection.
For potassium chloride: administer a 10 percent solution intravenously at 0.3 to 0.5 ml per kg of body weight. The dog shows a very brief episode of whole-body muscle rigidity, then goes limp and dies. For sodium pentobarbital: administer rapidly intravenously at 15 ml or 75 ml per kg of body weight. These drugs are generally available at licensed pharmacies or pet stores.
