Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Veterinarians can decline euthanizing pets if they feel that it isn't medically warranted. But yes sadly pet owners can ASK to euthanize their pets for any reason BUT the Vet can decline to do so. Pets are considered property by most laws. :(
