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.

Euthanising an animal is a two-stage process. First they get a shot that makes them fall fast, fast asleep. And once they actually are in a very, very deep sleep, they get the second drug that stops their heart and brain function. For all intents and purposes, they die peacefully in their sleep.
