I'm sorry to hear you're facing this difficult decision. It's never easy. The right time to consider euthanasia often depends on your dog's quality of life. Some signs that it may be time include persistent pain that medication can't alleviate, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, and a decline in their ability to enjoy favorite activities or interact with you.
If you've noticed your dog has difficulty moving around, losing weight unexpectedly, or seems uninterested and withdrawn, these could be signs their quality of life is suffering. At home, you can make your dog comfortable by adjusting their sleeping area to be easily accessible and offering gentle, loving attention, which can help gauge their response and comfort.
Serious signs that need immediate attention include labored breathing, uncontrollable vomiting or diarrhea, and sudden collapses.
Ultimately, decisions about euthanasia are deeply personal and can be challenging. Trust your instincts and prioritize your dog's well-being. A dedicated vet consultation can help you assess their condition with clarity. Please consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss these concerns more personally with a professional; they'll be there to support you every step of the way.

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
