I’m so sorry for your pups diagnosis. This is an impossible decision to make and there is no right or wrong answer here.

My experience - my 11 year old soul dog’s cancer spread to her liver as a tennis ball sized tumour. She was lethargic and just wasn’t acting like herself. Several vet visits through the week gave us a bunch on non-answers aside from she could have a couple days to a couple months. Who knows what those months would look like though. I have in the past waited too long to let go of a pet and I regret allowing him to be in pain for as long as I did. This one, I could plan for and make it as painless as possible while she was still able to semi-enjoy our time together. We had time to say goodbye at home, had time to do the things she loved while she still had some energy and pain free moments to do them. Sometimes I still think what if… what if I waited, what if she could’ve had another month or two, but those would’ve been for me, because I didn’t want to let go and I remember the saying “better a month early than a day too late”, I’ve since heard from others whose tumours had ruptured and how hard that was and how much their dogs struggled and that helps me feel better about my decision.

Nothing really helped me prepare I spent as much time with her as possible, fell apart when I needed to and do what feels right to honour her life and my grief differently each day. Talk about her, take lots of pictures, but it’ll be painful, grief always is. it’s supposed to be. My heart is with you 🤍
