Putting dog to sleep

Feel it so much for you. Hard decision to make. Most of us on here will have had to make that hard choice. All I can say is you have given her the best of times and now you are doing what is best for HER.

I have experienced it with several animals. Never gets any easier. In fact my amazing mum died in January and I cried buckets and then my beautiful cat became ill in April and I had to make the decision to say goodbye to him. I cried even more (if that is possible!) I wrote on here and got a lot of support.

It is never easy but prolonging her life would only hurt her more.

Just be prepared to grieve as you do for anyone you have loved unconditionally for so long.

My thoughts are with you tonight xxxxx

heart goes out to you- but if you can afford it- get the vet to come to your home and hold the dog in his/her favourite place to avoid any stress <3

I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you .

Thank you Loislovesstevie and everyone else. It was the right thing to do as the test results came back that she had aggressive tumours and would have died a very painful death if we had not had her put to sleep. She was stoical and tried so hard to stay with us to the extent she hid so much of any pain. I feel relief that she is no longer suffering but the grief at missing her is enormous.

It is so sad and you feel uncertain because you love your dog and don't want to be without her. You are making the choice to stop her suffering. Your head knows it is right but your heart is heavy as it does not want to lose her. Give her a lovely last meal that she will enjoy and get vet to come to her. After our cat was put down at 17 years old we made a montage of photos and put in a nice frame and hung in hall and we buried him in the border in our back garden which was his favourite sunny spot to lie and sun himself in the garden.

25Avalon. I know exactly how you feel. It is heart breaking. Gut wrenching.

You made the right decision.

We are so lucky to have the unconditional love from our dogs. They bring such joy. The only problem is they just don't live long enough

At least you know 100% that you did the right thing. The emptiness when they leave us is awful because they have been a constant presence in our homes. x

Of course you cry all the time and why not! This furry friend has given you so much love and loyalty over the years and is a trusted member of the family.

So many of us pet owners are forced to make that horrible decision, which makes us feel like murderers.

If only our beloved pets would just go to sleep by themselves and toddle off over the bridge to doggy or pussy cat heaven. But sadly that happens so rarely.

You are doing the right thing, as horrendous as it feels.

I`ve had to do the same myself, a few times...and I have such good memories of my best pals.

Take care love. xxxx

Look after yourself.

I.m sure you.know in your heart that it's the right time. My dear old dog Pongo had his last visit to our vets last October. It broke my heart but my vet said Pongo had kept on going just to please me.
I know it was the right time but I m still grieving.
