Some members asked why i put my dog to sleep

He had been a very unwell dog for some years and a few months ago he started getting far worst. He was at the Vet on a drip from Wednesday and on Saturday morning the VET recommended to put him to sleep as he was getting worst and not better

This is what the Vet sent to my dog insurance

It is mostly the fashion dogs that need insurance as they are mostly inherently born with genetic defects etc. We have never bought insurance but keep a rainy day fund for such things. After all insurance is calculated risk at the end of the day.

Our Cat is 9 and dog 8 and the cat always getting into fights as well.

paid £1000 for my cat to have an eye removed last year then another £300 to put it to sleep a few weeks later when it went blind in the other eye

We do it for people's kids. Those of us that don't have them have to pick up the costs for those that do.

I agree

But then again most these kids grow up and pay TAX when they start work where dogs don't

my partner has just picked out a yellow Labrador puppy, cost £1250. our last lab was £750 back in 2008, so not unreasonable i guess.
we bring it home at the end of the month. bye bye freedom

I bet you're looking forward to cleaning up all the dog poo & wee around the house

It was recommended to put the cat to sleep for going blind? Blind cats can still have fulfilling lives.

It had some kind of disease to brain which caused it to go blind

My mate at work just got a 6 year old dog a few days ago and when he went home after work the dog wouldn't let him in his garden :cry:

A mates 6 year old dog has just died due to playing fetch with a stick. The dog caught it with its mouth and there was a small tear of the oesophagus. He was in the vets quickly and then to a specialist but died overnight due to shock/cardiac arrest. I can’t imagine how he feels after being partially responsible. I never knew it was so dangerous throwing sticks.

Sorry to hear this
