How do you sedate a dog at home before euthanasia? Pets likely to be anxious and/or painful may benefit from a sedation kit, which consists of prescription medication to use in advance of the visit. We typically recommend a combination of gabapentin, clonidine and trazodone for dogs, and gabapentin +/- trazodone for cats.
