Your animal companion is no longer the healthy, vital, energetic companion he once was. In fact, he is suffering and you are agonizing over the decision to have him euthanized.
How do you know when the right time really is?
How do you know you are making the best decision for you pet?
Are you being selfish in deciding to end the life of another being?
These questions and others like them are never easy to answer. Your animal companion has been and still is an important part of your life and family. Saying goodbye is never easy much less having to make the determination of when your pet’s life will end.
As you consider when/if you should euthanize your pet the following guidelines will make the process a little easier.
1. Enlist the help of a trusted family member, friend, advisor, coach or veternarian. Use this person as a sounding board to help you reflect back feelings, ideas and fears.
2. Set the intention that no matter what you have your pet’s best interest at heart.
3. Ask your Expanded Self to help you release any feelings of guilt, shame or blame.
4. Consider the state of your pet’s health by carefully answering each of these questions. Is he able to get around by himself or does he need help? Can he get outside to relieve himself? Is he eating properly and maintaining weight? Does it hurt to touch him? Is he interested in things he used to love to do?
5. Consider your financial means. Do you have the financial resources to properly care for an aged or ill pet? Will this situation put a burden on you and your family.
6. Consider your emotional being. Do you have the time and energy to devote to your pet at this time? Is it fair to the rest of the members of your family?
7. What are your main reasons for deciding to have your companion euthanized?
8. What are your main reasons for deciding not to have your companion euthanized?
9. Connect with your companion and have a conversation with him about how he is feeling and what he would like to see happen. This is much easier than you think...and you are more than capable of doing this.
10. After you’ve considered all your options and reasons give yourself a deadline for making a decision.
Making a decision about having your pet euthanized is never easy. Following these 10 guidelines can help you put your pet’s welfare in the forefront and allow you to make a heart-centered decision that is best for everyone involved.
