I don't use a vet at end of life if they don't pass on their own.
They don't want to load up and go,the shots hurt the animal,more fear,more stress for the animal.
So I give a fatal dose of opiates wait until they fall asleep in my lap then shoot them before they can suffocate and possibly suffer.
Far easier for the animal much,much harder on me.
I believe it's the right thing for me to do else I certainly would not.
I also believe if more people took that approach maybe there would be a few less shitty owners.
Shitty people generally don't do the hard things.


sort of what I do only no guns , they go to sleep with a heavy dose of full spectrum cannabis oil and an opiate if needed then carbon monoxide

whatever way , it all hurts

My dog passed a couple months ago. I knew he was close to the end of his time with me. Some people I know thought I should bring him to the vet for some palliative care but he hated the vet and it stressed him out badly every visit. I have him treats and marrow bones frequently the just couple of months he was with me. Lots of good patting sessions too. His last day, he woke at about 4 am with a strange cough. I suspect he was in heart failure so I laid in the floor with him until the sun came up, fed him with some tasty ‘mixins’ and we went out so he could do his business. He looked back at me on the path in the woods and I knew he was done. Called the wife out to be with him and he passed peacefully with both of us holding him. It was sad but much better than my previous dog who had a painful osteosarcoma in his pelvis. We held him as the vet injected him and I could see in his eyes he was terrified. One of the biggest regrets in recent memory for me.

Sorry. I still get misty myself.

Jonah several days before he passed. He was a happy boy up until the morning he left us…

It is a blight upon my soul and it's how I know I have one.
I've always had big dogs. MY last dog (I had her when I met my wife. She was 2 then) was a 90 pound Dobie-Rottweiler mix. Short haired, black and tan, and the most athletic dog I've ever known. That dog would search a ten acre property for a tennis ball until she found it, then bring it back and drop it at my feet as her tongue hung to the ground and she put her front feet in her water dish to cool off. Then she'd pick it up and throw it at me to toss again. She would do anything I asked her to as long as that ball was around.

She saved my daughter from an attack by a neighbor's loose (normally chained) angry dog once.

Vet said to me when I got her ("nothing but trouble here - brittle Dobie bones, prone to illness"), but after 14 years, that damned dog never had so much as the sniffles. She got annual vet visits and never anything else. I fed her one brand of dry dog food - no human food.

6 months away from the end, she started leaking a little. She never exhibited pain or complained about it. Not once. 3 days prior, she wouldn't eat. Wouldn't even get up. I was working 60 hour weeks, but I laid on the floor with her every chance I got.

Third day, she got up and dragged herself outside to dump some rock-hard loads. She seemed to look back and apologize to me for pooping on the driveway, honest to goodness.

Took her up and the vet said thousands of dollars might get me 6 more months of her. She was simply shutting down.
I held her head in my hand and talked to her until she was gone. That was tough, but I didn't want to put her through all that.

I don't know that I could shoot an aged dog like that one.

Don't get me wrong - a rabid dog, or a mortally wounded (and untreatable) dog, I'd have no issue ending their misery.
It's tough, for sure.
