NEVER!!!!

The decision to euthanize your dog is one of the hardest you'll have to make, but it's the most humane way to say goodbye to your old friend who in's pain. Don't expect your vet to make the decision for you, he or she will support and console you but it's up to you to know when to let go.

Don't let your dog suffer more than she has to.

Call your vet when you know it's time and let him or her know you don't want to wait in the waiting room. Schedule an exact time to come in.

Take your friend yourself, wrapped in her favourite blanket with a favourite toy or treat.

Remember, the last sensations your dog will experience are the sound of your voice and your reassuring smell-- the things she loved most during her life.
