Hi there,
I’m sorry to hear you’re facing this difficult decision. It's never easy to know when it might be time for a pet to pass on, though there are some signs that can help guide you. Often, we're looking at quality of life. Observe if your pet seems to be in constant pain, is they’re unable to enjoy their favorite activities, or if they have more bad days than good ones. Appetite loss, constant vomiting or diarrhea, or difficulty breathing can be indicators of declining health.
At home, you can try to keep your pet comfortable by providing a cozy, safe, and quiet space. Offering gentle support can also help them navigate through their routines. It's important to monitor them closely to understand their pain and needs.
Warning signs of serious issues include severe pain, sudden inability to stand or walk, ongoing seizures, or rapid weight loss. If you notice any of these, it's essential to consult with a veterinarian as soon as possible.
This is an incredibly personal and emotional decision, and it's one you shouldn't face alone. I highly recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can discuss your pet’s specific situation in more detail and help offer some guidance. Remember, you’re not alone in this.
Take care.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
