re: Reading dog threads on here for years.... when do you know it's time for the big sleep?

Dealt with it pretty recently also. My vet said when they lose quality of life he is good with it. Mine was starting to have trouble standing some and getting up a step in the house and to the backyard.

Would run some days but clearly hurting a good bit. I just figured he should go when he couldn’t do the things he loved. Sort of like I would I want to go. Prayers for you and your dog.
