How Do I Know when it's time?

If your pet has been diagnosed with an illness or is simply showing signs of aging or struggling, the question of when euthanasia becomes the best option may be weighing on your mind and your heart. This is the number one question I get asked. It is one of the most challenging and complicated decisions we will ever have to make for our beloved pet. Many pet parents express that they hope their pet will “ tell them” or give them “ a sign “ or even a “look” to tell them they are ready , while others say they wish they pass peacefully in their sleep. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Pets instinctively hide their pain and illnesses, so it is important for owners to understand their pets specific condition and what that might look like near the end of life. How is their ailment impacting their quality of life currently, or going to in the future ?
