Abstract
A novel euthanasia composition for animals, especially companion animals, utilizes a combination of sodium pentobarbital with dibucaine. The composition is easy to administer, fast-acting and relatively painless. A humane method for euthanasia involves administering the composition to animals for which euthanasia is desired.
