Consider In-Home Euthanasia When the Time Comes for Your Old Dog

I can’t think of a more sad time in my life than when I’ve had to put a dog to sleep. The arguments that go on inside my head as to whether or not it’s time or if there’s anything I can do to help him live longer. Or if I do help him live longer, what’s the quality of life going to be? Inevitably the time comes when we know we have to euthanize our old buddy. And it’s heartbreaking. Now there’s a way to take some of the pain out of process.  Consider In-Home Euthanasia When The Time Comes For Your Old Dog.  Old Dog Care Guide provides insight into the benefits of this service:

“Your old dog has lived all his life in your home, and the familiar surroundings are likely to soothe him. The same can’t be said of the vet’s clinic, though. Let’s face it, every time your old pal has been to the vet it hasn’t equated to a fun time for him. You can eliminate the stress of going to the vet and keep the old dog as comfortable as is possible. He can lay on his own bed.  He can have his favorite toy next to him. You can even cook him a steak right before the vet arrives!

Putting him to sleep is often more painful and difficult for you than anyone else. Having it done at home gives you all the privacy you need. You can cry your eyes out without having to worry about the people in the waiting room or feeling the need to leave the room — and your pet — because the vet has another appointment they need the room for.

When you choose in-home euthanasia for dogs, how you say good-bye to your pet is entirely up to you. You can either stay with your pooch during the entire process or you can say good-bye beforehand and leave the vet to do his thing. You can hug and kiss your pet if you want to, and you can even let the other family members and pets (if you have any, that is) do the same.  In home euthanasia allows this to be a highly private moment for your dog and enables you to grieve with your pet’s body as long as you like.”  Read the original Old Dog Care Guide post here.

It’s a very sad and difficult time for any dog lover so anything that can make it easier is important to share. Would you consider in-home euthanasia when the time comes for your old dog?  Or have you had experience with it?  Please share your story to help others who are, or will soon be, needing to make this decision for their dog.

    I believe what you composed was actually very logical. But,
    what about this? what if you composed a catchier post title?
    I am not suggesting your content isn’t good., however what
    if you added something that makes people want more? I mean Consider In-Home Euthanasia When the Time Comes for
    Your Old Dog | The Dogington Post is kinda boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how
    they create news titles to get viewers to open the links.
    You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get readers excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a
    little livelier.

    I’m curious to find out what blog system you’re utilizing?
    I’m experiencing some minor security problems with my latest blog and I’d like to find something more secure.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Howdy! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.

    Does operating a well-established website such as yours require a massive amount work?
    I am brand new to blogging but I do write in my diary every day.
    I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and views
    online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog
    owners. Thankyou!

    After 15 years together, I had to make the decision to put my pekingese Sir Bugsy Malone down. My vet said that he was suffering, and that it was only a matter of time. I had taken his blanket with me, just in case there was nothing else to be done. It completely broke my heart, but I had to love him ENOUGH to do the right thing for him. I gave him a hug and kiss, told him that I loved him, and went to get his blanket. When I left the room, the vet closed the door, and when I came back he was gone. My vet wrapped him in his blanket, gave me a hug, and told me not to open the blanket before I buried him, to remember him the way he WAS. I still grieve for him and miss him every day, but I know that I did the RIGHT thing for my best friend. He’s buried in the back yard surrounded by flowers, with a little memorial with his name and dates on it. It makes me feel better having him close to me, and gives me a place to remember the good times with my beloved friend. It’s a hard thing to do, but it’s the RIGHT thing when you love your best friend, and put them first, as they have always done with you. If you have to make this decision……my thoughts and prayers are with you.Take a friend with you if possible, because you’re going to need someone to drive you home. Love to anyone making this very difficult decision!!!!
