I'm still not sure how to do it peacefully for him.

The best bet, if possible, is to get a vet to your house where the dog will feel calm and familiar. I've been there😕🫂.

This was part of the problem for us. I felt like if we were going to do it, I damn well owe him the dignity and love to do it with my own hands. But at least in the US, that's not possible without resorting to more dangerous (and potentially painful) methods. 😢

Not sure of the options where you live, but we found someone who did in-home pet euthanasia so our girl could pass peacefully at home. She was surrounded by her favorite toys. No stress and a belly full of treats. After everything she gave us, it was the least we could do for her. Highly recommend.
