Yes, a veterinarian is capable and legally allowed to euthanize animals, including domesticated and companion animals. However, the veterinarian can only do so under two conditions: with express permission from the owner or when the veterinarian or the clinic is acting as the owner of the animal (such as when an unknown animal is brought in for emergency treatment - an animal hit by a car is a common example). A veterinarian cannot legally or ethically simply collect pets and euthanize them because he/she wants to.
