ELI5; Putting pets and animals down

How do we know that when we put animals down it won’t hurt them? Like how can we be sure animals aren’t in pain if they can’t speak?

Mainly asking because I saw a 2 sentence horror story saying they can and now I’m irrationally worried. I could never imagine hurting my kitty ever and really just worried about the hypothetical.

For whatever it’s worth, we had to let our dog go. They came to our house and gave him a shot that put him to sleep. It was exactly like when he was tired and sleepy. A few minutes later another shot was administered and he left us. He didn’t seem to notice the 2nd shot at all. He literally lay down and went to sleep and never woke up. He died in my arms and it was pretty traumatic for me personally, but I’m confident that he had no discomfort whatsoever and passed more peacefully than most humans do since most cultures don’t allow for the same kind of compassionate transition for people.
