Euthanasia is something most people would rather not think about. Unfortunately, pets become old and ill, and when they appear to be suffering, sometimes pet euthanasia is the most caring and compassionate thing a pet owner can do for their pet.
Understanding When It's Time to Say Goodbye
It can be difficult for pet owners to determine when it’s time to say goodbye to their beloved pets, especially if your pet has good days and bad days.
Some things to consider when trying to determine if your pet's quality of life has declined....
- Your Pet Is in Chronic Pain that Cannot Be Alleviated With Medication
- Your Pet Has Stopped Eating and/or Lost Weight
- Your Pet Has Chronic Vomiting and Diarrhea that Cannot Be Controlled
- Your Pet’s Activity Levels Have Dropped
- Your Pet Can No Longer Stand or Walk on His or Her Own
