QUALITY OF LIFE ASSESSMENT

Is my pet in pain? Is my pet eating and drinking normally? Is my pet able to go to the bathroom without soiling him/herself? Is my pet doing his/her favorite things like he/she used to? Does my pet still have enthusiasm and interest for favorite toys/ treats and family members? Is my pet able to go on walks, get up without assistance? Is my pet having more bad days than good days? Is my pet trying to tell me: "I need your help, it's time, I can't do this any longer" OR "I'm ok, I'd like to stay a little longer?"

It hurts to lose a beloved pet, especially when we have to make the decision to let go. But that last act of friendship is the most loving and caring gift we can give our best friend who is suffering when treatment is impossible. A peaceful passing with dignity, in the comfort of home and surrounded by 2 & 4-legged family members is a blessing.

You must feel "at peace" with the decision, to avoid second thoughts once it's done or feelings of guilt/regrets. Although the opinion of someone you trust may be helpful, Trust your heart and your inner feelings, and listen to your pet for guidance.
