What dogs feel before they die, according to vets



Animals are the living beings with whom we share this world and, particularly in the case of domestic animals such as dogs and cats, we share our existence with them. Have you ever wondered what dogs feel before they die? Veterinarians have observed that turning point in canine companions many times, and have found poignant signs.

If you have ever had to resort to euthanasia for a dog due to its health condition, its advanced age or due to an accident, you will know that it is not an easy time to live; in fact, it is quite a bitter drink. Deciding to euthanize a canine companion, or “put him to sleep” as they say mildly, is not easy at all. and it is generally the last option we have to avoid their prolonged or unnecessary suffering.

But once, by the hand of a veterinarian, we have decided that the time has come to euthanize a pet, it is important to accompany it until its last breath, literally. It is very difficult and emotionally very moving to see a life partner die on a vet iron, or even in our arms but, according to the experts, it is what our dog would like in his last minutes of life.

Hillcrest Veterinary Hospital of California assures that in 90% of the cases of dogs that will be euthanized, their human owners prefer not to witness the moment because they would not take it or consider it too harsh. However, one vet shared that it can be even worse for the dying dog to live its last minutes in a room surrounded by strangers.
