I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this pressure, and I can imagine how difficult this situation must be for you. Let's try to look at what might be contributing to this decision and see if there are any alternatives or additional support we can provide for you and your dog.
First, consider why your husband feels this way. Is your dog experiencing chronic pain or illness, behavior changes, or significant mobility issues? These can sometimes suggest that a pet's quality of life is in decline. However, there might be non-permanent or manageable reasons behind such symptoms.
For example, if your dog is showing signs of pain or discomfort, this could be due to arthritis, dental problems, or even a treatable illness. Behavior changes might result from anxiety, a change in routine, or underlying medical issues—both mental and physical.
At home, make sure your dog has a comfortable, quiet place to rest, and monitor their appetite and bathroom habits. If your dog seems to be in pain or discomfort, try to note when these symptoms occur and what might be triggering them.
Watch for signs like labored breathing, inability to stand, extreme lethargy, or signs of severe pain, as these could indicate a more serious health issue requiring immediate attention.
I recommend scheduling a video consultation with a Dial A Vet professional. This can help you get a clearer picture of your dog's health and quality of life and explore possible treatments or lifestyle adjustments together.

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
