In cases where animal testing is deemed necessary, what steps can be taken to improve quality of life after testing?

Are there times where the most ethical course would be euthanasia simply because the testing has such a negative impact on the animal?

Unfortunately, animals used in laboratories suffer both during procedures and just from living life in a laboratory, where they are denied everything that is important to them.

Yes, but in cases where the testing is necessary because the models aren’t able to fully replicate the animal, what steps can be taken to minimize their suffering afterwards?
