You may want to spend some time thinking about how you can give your dog the best end of life experience that you can.
Losing a dog is painful. However, and I’m only speaking from personal experience here, you will probably have the opportunity to control to a great extent how your dog dies, its relative level of pain / discomfort, and in what situation and setting the death takes place.
Knowing that my dog—who my parents found abandoned a few weeks before I was born, who I grew up with, and who died in my early adulthood—died at home, surrounded by her family, having spent her last days lovingly attended and not in great physical pain, makes remembering her whole and relatively joyful life more pleasant for me now. It may help you too.
