Here's a great article that compares to two.Maybe print it off and take to your vet to ensure they use one of these gases.

I had completely forgotten about Sevoflourane and yes I recall hearing of it, and yes I have heard it is much safer. I don't know if my Vets here in Canada have it or not. Thanks for reminding me of it.
