Euthanasia, a good death

​

When is it time? This is a common question, but can be a difficult one to answer, as there are many factors that may influence the decision. 

​

For a pet that is suffering or in pain, euthanasia is a true gift.

​

Please talk to your regular veterinarian about your pet's health and quality of life. Their knowledge and expertise will help guide you in this decision-making process.

  • Can he walk on his own, unassisted?

  • Is he still able to enjoy his favorite activities?

    • Does he greet you at the door?​

    • Does he wag his tail when he sees you?

    • Does he go for walks and play outside?

    • Does he want to eat his treats, chew on toys, play fetch?

  • Does he have uncontrolled vomiting/diarrhea, chronic cough or labored breathing, or significant weight loss?
