Things to Consider
Ask yourself the following questions to determine whether your pet’s quality of life has diminished to the point where euthanasia may be an appropriate option:
- Has my pet’s appearance, behavior, or personality changed recently?
- Does my pet still enjoy their favorite activities, and can they do them without trouble?
- Is my pet still social with people, other pets, etc.?
- Does my pet still eat and drink properly?
- Can my pet go to the bathroom on their own?
- Is my pet showing obvious signs of significant pain or discomfort?
Also, ask yourself if you are prepared to care for your pet if their condition quickly worsens. Think about whether you have the emotional, physical, and financial resources to provide the care necessary to maintain or improve their quality of life. We also recommend thinking about whether you’d rather plan the end of your pet’s life or have them put to sleep emergently.
