Never put an animal down for your own comfort or at all if you have the strength and courage because if they were in the wild they would die a natural death. Never grieve before they’re dead because that holds them to the body.

When my pet is dying I always allow them to die on their own terms and try to make them as comfortable as it’s possible until that time. Painkillers and drugging them makes it difficult for them to free themselves from the body. When one of mine is transitioning, I never leave my home, not for a minute. Instead I hold my fur baby non-stop reassuring him or her that it’s okay to let go and that I will see them again. I never panic, I never cry, I stay stoic to selflessly free them from their own body. When my baby dies and more than six of them have died natural deaths in my arms in 67 years, I am always there holding them and with them until the very last breath.
I urge all of you to do the same. do not put your pets down if you can avoid it instead let them die on their own terms but make them as comfortable as possible.

Give them chicken, turkey, steak, ground beef, treats, anything safe for them to eat like their last meals should be. Carry them to their favorite park or to the beach and let them drink in the atmosphere. Carry them into your backyard where they played so happily and let your other pets smell them while they are making their transition and after they die. Animals know the smell of death and it helps them adjust easier.
