I'm sorry to hear that you're facing this difficult decision. Deciding if it's time for euthanasia is never easy, but I’m here to help guide you through it. It's important to consider your pet's quality of life. Try to evaluate if your pet is experiencing more good days than bad ones. Common signs that might indicate it's time include persistent pain, difficulty breathing, losing interest in food and activities they once enjoyed, or if they're unable to move comfortably.
At home, ensure your pet is in a comfortable, quiet space. Provide soft bedding and make sure they have easy access to water. Keep an eye on their bathroom habits as well, as changes can indicate discomfort.
You should watch for any sudden changes, such as severe distress, vocalizing unusual sounds, labored breathing, or a significant decrease in responsiveness, which could indicate a serious underlying issue that needs immediate attention.
Ultimately, this decision is about balancing what's best for your pet and for you as a caretaker. If you're still uncertain, a video consultation with a vet might offer additional clarity and peace of mind. I'm here for you throughout this process, so don't hesitate to reach out.

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
