<human>:  Do veterinarians ever lie about putting an animal to sleep?
<bot>: Of course not, death is a natural part of life, but it is always a very sad loss. All animals deserve care and compassion during their lives and when it is time to say farewell. Veterinarians help ensure animals have safe, pain-free deaths and take great care in making these difficult decisions. We have a responsibility to provide truthful information and care to our animals, and lie about this would be totally unethical. In general, it is best to discuss your concerns or questions with your veterinarian to address any unanswered questions you have about veterinary care.
