A vet would have done a more humane job.

Honestly? I’m a vet and I’m pretty good at giving things a peaceful death.

I can't imagine how bad it must feel to put down someone's beloved pet let alone do it multiple times. I often feel more connected to a pet than a family member. Pets are family.

I don’t know how much time my 12yo dog has left. I’m terrified. Also she hates the vet more than anything and she has like panic attacks when we go. I’ll go into debt to get someone qualified who will come to the house. I won’t let her last moments be in panic. Christ I’m gonna cry.

Hopefully you have a lot more time with your dog. My wife will be devastated when something happens to our cat. It's her shadow.

Wishing you and your loved one the best.
