That's an option which I wish was available for animals and people alike. I'm a nurse - so I see so many people who are brought in to the hospital by their families during their final hours, because the families don't have the necessary medications at home to make the death peaceful and comfortable. But it's not peaceful or comfortable to be at the hospital during death either - it's a sterile, unfamiliar environment and it's noisy.

It's too bad that there are people out there who would abuse the drugs. They spoil the possibilities for everybody else.
