When To Say Goodbye

Deciding when to euthanise your pet is one of the most difficult choices a pet owner can face. It’s natural to wonder whether your pet is still enjoying life, especially as they age or struggle with illness. Factors such as chronic pain, reduced mobility, loss of appetite, or withdrawal from loved activities can indicate a decline in quality of life.

At Time2SayGoodbye, we understand how emotional this decision can be. Our team is here to guide you through the process with compassion, helping you assess your pet’s needs and ensuring their passing is peaceful and pain-free. Saying goodbye is never easy, but making this choice with love ensures your pet doesn’t suffer unnecessarily and can pass with dignity.

Valid Reasons To Consider Euthanasia

Is your pet extremely weak or debilitated such that he or she can’t stand anymore?

Is your pet in constant pain from cancer or severe skeletal issues that can no longer be controlled with medication?

Is your pet incontinent and this is causing your pet loss of dignity and comfort?

Is your pet confused, disorientated or mentally not aware of what is happening around him or her?

Does your pet have a progressive or debilitating disease that can no longer be managed physically mentally or financially?

Does your pet have a behavioural issue or an aggressive problem that is becoming dangerous to other people or animals?

Has your pet lost the use of his or her hind legs and can no longer stand?

Has your pet stopped eating for several days or is vomiting continuously and your vet is no longer able to help?

Very importantly does your pet have difficulty breathing, have extreme pain or have uncontrolled seizures?

All these scenarios indicate a prompt decision should be made.
