It’s a horrible and hard decision to make, always good to have someone slightly removed that know you and your pet well to give an opinion and advice. In hindsight I left it a bit too long to have my old German Shepherd put down. He had a great life though, we stuck together through thick and thin, lots of travels together.
I house sit for a lot of people and a lot of old dogs, I’m that person that knows the owners and their dogs well enough to give advice of when it might be time.
My little buddy is nearing his time in the next 6 months to two years, depending how he goes but it’s coming.
They’re the best of mates.![]()
I've had to put down loved pets and I think it adds peace with the knowledge they aren't suffering. I hate every minute of taking them to the vet for their final goodbyes and ive cried my heart out. The saddest time in my life was saying goodbye to Jaydee and Dakota. Jaydee started having seizures and Dakota couldn't walk anymore. I also lost a cat to kidney disease. But hit hits you in the feels every time. Part of the family you know.
