Hello, and thank you for reaching out with such an important question. I know how difficult it can be to think about this decision. Euthanasia is a deeply personal choice, and it often hinges on your pet's quality of life. Some signs indicating it might be time include consistent pain that doesn't improve with treatment, no longer eating or drinking, difficulty moving around, or a loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy.
At home, you can try to make your pet comfortable by providing a soft, warm place to rest and ensuring they have access to food and water. Gentle, soothing interactions can also help comfort your pet.
Be on the lookout for any major changes in behavior like severe lethargy, respiratory difficulties, or any signs of distress like crying or whining. If you notice these, it’s important to consult with a vet as soon as possible.
Taking this step is never easy, but it’s often a compassionate choice when your pet is suffering. If you're unsure, booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet can provide the guidance and support you need to make the best decision for your pet and your family.

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
