I have a friend who’s having to decide when it’s time to put her dog down — he’s old and having a lot of health problems. Anyway, my friend told me that she can’t stand to be with her dog during euthanasia. I understand that it’s difficult for the owner, but that just seems cruel to me. Our pets deserve for us to be by their side at the end for comfort. What would y’all do?
I am a firm believer in staying with my animals until the very end, including the hard part of being there during euthanasia. Our pets look to us for everything; they need that comfort when passing through to the next journey. For me, there is no question about whether or not I will stay with them. They offered me so much love and comfort in life; it’s the final act of love I can give them.
