When my dog’s time is up, I’ll either use CO2 or nitrogen on her. CO2 is sometimes used when cattle are slaughtered. Put the dog in a box, fill with CO2. Easy way to go.
There’s an 1940’s book/movie, Green for Danger, with a strategy for hiding your self-termination with industrial gasses.
- speedbird 5y agoPlease don’t CO2 causes extreme stress for a period before causing unconsciousness Do a little research And just pay a decent vet to do it properly.
- jostmey 5y agoWhat makes you assume you will outlive your dog? I mean, you probably will, but are you facing the reality of the human condition that our life can end anytime? The author was 26
- malandrew 5y agoI thought high CO2 levels in blood induce panic? It was my understanding that the reflex that causes us to want to breath are not based on a lack of oxygen but a buildup of CO2. CO on the other hand doesn’t have this impact and you pass away without the panic.
- tgv 5y agoThat's what I understood too. Our body measures CO2 levels, and responds to them. CO, on the other hand, goes undetected, but binds hemoglobin, thus shutting us down. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
- refurb 5y agoCO2 is not great. It will induce panic and at high concentrations is very irritating to the respiratory system. It's used in some settings, because it's a trade off of distressing the animal when you move or restrain it. But it needs to be done right. Nitrogen is far better because there is no sensory cue that something is different.
- sneakpdx 5y agoI'm always amazed at how dumb intelligent people can be. Please, please don't do this.
- fastball 5y agoWhat makes you think GC is intelligent?
- ISL 5y agoMost, perhaps all, people are.
- mijoharas 5y agoI think a good general principle for speaking with people on the internet is "the principle of charity". You need to think of the best possible interpretation of the other posters comment, and always assume you're speaking with someone intelligent in good faith. For instance here, my best interpretation would be that the person is both confused between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and is unaware that vets will assist in helping pets pass away. The other interpretations: that the person is a troll, that the person is needlessly cruel, that the person cares more about saving the vet fees than the feelings of their dog , or that the other person is just an idiot don't contribute to a healthy discussion.
- jhgb 5y agoIt probably depends on what GC you're talking about. You plain old copying semi-space or or mark-and-sweep GC will be fairly dumb, but some modern ones like Metronome or C4 are pretty smart.
- jamiek88 5y agoDo not torture your dog to death. Co2 poisoning is scary and painful. If you care about saving the vets fees over that then I don’t know how to communicate with someone like you.

- prawn 5y agoWhen my ageing cat was on his last legs, two vets visited our home. I held my cat, they injected him, and left almost immediately (settling the bill at a later date). My cat was 'asleep' quickly in my arms for our family to have a last moment together and then bury him. I'm not sure why you would want your pet separated from you and in a box to die by itself instead?
- throwaway48375 5y agoWTF just go to a vet.
- xfitm3 5y agoI don't think you should have a dog.

- jacquesm 5y agoWhy are you doing this? Is it to save money on the vet bill?
- beeboop 5y agoI will pay your dog's vet bill for proper euthanasia for you not to do that. I'm serious, respond to this comment if you want to take me up on it and we'll work it out.
