It is a very hard thing to go through...however, after my previous dog being by my side for 14 years, I was not going to let her be put down without me in the room.
The process involves giving the drug a sedative that makes them sleepy and out of it. After that they give the injection to put the dog down. My family and I chose to hold her so she knew we were there.
My personal opinion is you should be there. Don't live with the regret that you were not by your dog's side...no matter how hard it is.
I'm sorry you have to go through this.
