Saying Goodbye with Love and Dignity
The decision to say goodbye to your beloved companion is one of the hardest decisions for a family to make. To help you understand the process, here are some tips:
Is it time? Consider your pet’s quality of life. When a pet’s quality of life has deteriorated to the point when they are:
-
in persistent physical pain or discomfort
-
if they are unable to get up and move adequately to eliminate consistently outside (or in their litterbox)
-
if they have severe restlessness, anxiety, or vocalization
-
if they persistently soil themselves or their bedding and/or develop pressure sores
-
if they are not eating or drinking adequately for hydration and nutrition
-
if they are not cognizant of their surroundings or owners
-
if they have little or no interest in everyday activities
-
if they are having labored breathing (or need oxygen) or frequent seizures, despite medication
-
if they have metastatic cancer
​
Then it may be more kind to consider euthanasia to help prevent further decline or suffering of a beloved pet.
Take a Quality-of-Life Assessment test.
This is a written tool that helps to objectively measure and monitor your pet’s quality of life.
Consult With Your Primary Veterinarian
To see what insight they can provide about your pet’s health, disease, mobility, treatment options, and further diagnostics (if desired). They may be able to provide a new or modified treatment plan or provide further/alternative suggestions for keeping your pet more comfortable. They may be able to give you a general prognosis (especially if your pet suffers from chronic disease or cancer) and/or provide further guidance and considerations about your pet’s quality of life.
Talk To Family Members And Other
Caregivers of your pet. Those that know your pet well can offer valuable insight into your pet’s quality of life. It’s generally best if everyone is on the same page. No one should feel pressured to make the decision if they are not ready. On the other hand, pet owners should try their best to objectively consider their pet’s actual quality of life and/or pain levels. Pet owners and family members should also keep in mind that the decision of letting a pet pass onto the rainbow bridge with dignity and respect is truly a final gift of love.
