I believe the only way to have a pet be killed is of old age, any other way the social worker will take them away, even if they are trapped. I think you might be able to achieve it by cheating, I'll have to look and check.
a pet can only die via old age if you don't want your pet anymore you can put it up for adoption, if you are trying to get a ghost pet you can turn elder age with the sliders to 1 day then they die quicker.
Blace....its just a game..the animal maybe glitches or something -.-'
And I think of you do the cheat code I think theres a option to delet them or just have it adopted it out
Are you anticipating serial killer as a future job description?
Dude its a game...not real life...
Please say you don't think a game is real life if you do..I feel sorry for you.
Killing animals in real life depends on the state I believe you can goto jail and a serial killer kills humans not animals.
Ah but they say most serial killers start out with killing animals...... teasing. I know it's just a game and you can play any scenario that strikes your fancy. Have fun!
When I had pets installed I couldn't bear to kill them! I had pets live for generations and generations because I kept making them young again with cheats. Especially when I used to play "myself" on the Sims, I needed to have my little black kittie for it to feel complete! I kept making her an adult whenever she aged into elder. I love dat lil beastie <3
@Fiveme2 It may be a game but most serial killers start with pets. That is psychologically proven.
As to the OP, I haven't ever tried this but I think the only way pets will die is old age. They will either run away or be taken away if they fall into need desperation.
Like most here though I can't bring myself to off them. They may just be pixelated pets, but they're my pixelated people's pets and I love them! They're generally support characters in my sim story. I know that if you want a blue pet ghost, just fulfil as many pet wishes as you can. The red pet ghost is the default if they don't get, I think it's 15k in lifetime wishes fulfilled. Blue is 15k+. I think I've been able to unknowing get only one blue ghost dog and that was because he was the family's only pet, so all of his wishes were granted!

It strikes me as kind of funny nobody ever makes real life assumptions like this when people ask how they can kill off their sim
On a side note, on topic, does anyone know what happens when a dog jumps into a pool without you noticing? That happened in my game (in a mansion in Bridgeport). The family (not the family I was playing) had a dog and he’d jump into the pool all the time. I used resetsim to get him out, but what happens if I wouldn’t? Does the game reset them? They can’t climb out as far as I know.
@JoAnne65 - My sims' dogs never had any trouble jumping out of swimming pools. If the dog is a member of the actively controlled household, just a Go Here to a spot on the ground near the pool should do it. In fact, a pool at one of their vacation homes has a cement island built into the middle with lounge chairs on it. The dog loves to spend all day swimming, jumping up and snoozing on the lounge chairs (or maybe just on the "ground" up there, it's been a while) then repeat.
I tried having one of my dogs swim the other day and was a wreck thinking the poor thing would drown, I watched her like a hawk, she did manage to climb out but I prompted it as she just kept swimming and swimming...
To "get rid of" extra pets...(and when you have three houses with 1 adult plus three puppies that you didn't want but they showed up when you changed houses for 10 minutes they are considered extras)..I age them up to elder in CAS then have them have a birthday, thus triggering Grim..I feel bad but can't deal with tons of dogs when I'm trying to get screenshots for a story. As far as killing off regular old Sims ask my SS how many billions of times she has been killed off!
Another approach might be to move the unwanted pets to other households. Up to a point anyway, I am sure no one wants 500 puppies in their town if this keeps happening.
But of course there are mod solutions as well for removing sims who should never really have existed in the first place without killing anyone and that will prevent things like this from happening in households that you switch in and out of.
@Charlottesmom'sSS - Okay, so how many billions of times have you been killed off? (am I really going to get an answer to this one?)

They do ? I didn't know that (this particular dog I didn't control and I didn't give it a chance to climb out by themself). Well, it's a relief, I won't have to worry next time I see a dog jumping in
If all else fails and you see tired or other stressed out thought bubbles coming from an uncontrolled animal in the water, the player can always reset them as you said. I've seen animals get uncomfortable in my game, but fortunately have never seen any of them drown.
@igazor , I may have exaggerated a bit, I have killed her off at least 35 times though sometimes she was just annoying me sometimes for a specific ghost.

Do you happen to be trying to obtain a ghost pet?

CAS
Object
trigger age transition
change traits
if you want it to die of old age, choose trigger age transition until it becomes a elder, press it again and it will die..
if you want to delete it, click object and then delete.
hope this helped :D
