More than 59% of American homes have pets, and in recent decades, they have become more of a family member and less of a commodity, not just in the eyes of pet parents but also in the eyes of society as a whole.

The loss of a pet may be a devastating and heartbreaking experience for owners, but it is also a highly personal one. The anguish and suffering are only made worse by having to say goodbye to your dearest friend in a sterile, chilly atmosphere in front of others.

Home is the finest spot to say goodbye. It provides comfort and solitude while relieving anxiety in both the pet and the parent.

Your pet's quality of life should always come first and be your top priority. Consider whether your pet still likes his everyday activities, such as going for a walk, welcoming you when you arrive home, sitting with you during your quiet moments, playing with a favorite toy, and socializing with the family.

A cat, on the other hand, might be more difficult to decide whether to euthanize since they are masters at masking sickness and are more stoic. In the wild, if a cat showed signs of disease or weakness, it would become prey.

Many people experience feelings of regret and uncertainty after struggling over a decision and losing their pet. Remember that your choice to euthanize your pet was motivated by love and compassion. If your pet could, they would tell you, so be kind to yourself; you did well.
