Something I hear a lot: "I just don't want to do it too soon, or leave it too late."
If that thought has been sitting with you, please know, that feeling means you're a deeply caring pet parent. And it means it might be time to have a gentle conversation.
Decisions around end of life should involve more than just eating, drinking and doing the usual basic functions. This is existing, but not living comfortably. Assessing quality of life includes paying attention to things like are they able to rest comfortably or are they pacing? Are they sleeping well or waking up several times at night? Are they still connecting with you? Are they still interested in what they used to be interested in?
You don't have to make this decision alone, and you don't have to wait until you're in crisis to reach out.
I offer telephone consultations specifically to guide dog owners through this process thoughtfully, compassionately, and without any pressure. Just an honest, caring conversation at a time that suits you that is booked into the diary so that we have uninterrupted time. Prior to the call I get your pet's notes sent through from their current vet so that I have all of the information.
The cost for this is $75.
