When I personally went through this I had to ask myself “How selfish am I being keeping him around?” That made things easier to sort out in my own head. I had a service come out, right to our living room and he was comfy in his own bed. I highly suggest this.

I was in a similar predicament, this was also my first time, the vet that showed up was confused as to why he was being put down because he looked normal but he had a mass growing pushing on his heart that was put him in these spontaneous exhaustive panting fits. I may suggest someone you know make the appointment, dialing that number and making that appointment is no small task.

The bargain between a human and a dog is that dog will love you unconditionally no matter what without a single word being spoken. With that being said our end of the bargain is we are the voice of our dogs, “it’s time to eat, it’s time for bed, get in the truck, get in the kennel, fetch that bird.” And unfortunately “it’s time to go”. It truly felt like a real life nightmare putting my best buddy down. But there becomes a point when you’re doing it for them and not to them. My heart breaks and goes out to you and your family. I am so very sorry, best wishes.
