How to Know When It’s Time
Deciding when it’s time to say goodbye to your pet can be one of the most difficult decisions you’ll ever make. While every pet and situation is unique, there are some common signs that may indicate that it’s time to consider end-of-life care:
Decline in Quality of Life
If your pet is experiencing chronic pain, difficulty breathing, or a decline in mobility that cannot be effectively managed with treatment, it may be time to consider end-of-life care.
Loss of Appetite or Interest
A sudden loss of appetite or interest in activities that your pet once enjoyed can be a sign that they are no longer experiencing a good quality of life.
Incontinence or Loss of Control
If your pet is experiencing frequent accidents, difficulty controlling their bladder or bowels, or a loss of control over their bodily functions, it may be a sign that their condition has worsened.
Lack of Response to Treatment
If your pet’s condition is not improving despite medical treatment, or if their condition is causing them significant discomfort or distress, it may be time to consider end-of-life care as a compassionate option.
