As others have mentioned it's important to be there with your dog at the end. Someone advised me in the past to pay before you take the dog in the back. That way you can just leave after.
I hope it doesn't sound cold but I've been through it twice already and it does help.
Please accept my condolances.

Many if not most veterinary clinics will do it this way for this purpose exactly. They will also try and schedule the appointment late in the day (last one if possible) so the owners do not have to walk through a waiting room full of people on the way out. The clinic we take our animals too also keeps one of their exam rooms exclusively for this purpose. It's located away from the others for more privacy.
