This is a very controvertial subject. I feel that if the dog is in UNCURABLE pain, it is unfair to make them live like that. However, if it is curable, don't have them euthanized.
There are many pain medications for dogs now. And some are available for cheaper cost on line with such sites as petmeds.com and others.
Overall, whether to put a dog to sleep has some typical factors. Do consider what the dog needs so that the answer is never about owner convenience. Ask yourself questions: is the animal having discomfort such as pain? Can it be treated? Is the animal having subjective discomfort that they can't get over due to loss or change in functioning? In simple terms, are they "depressed" due to not being able to walk or can they cope and do they try to manage? And because a dog has weakness in walking is not nor should it be a death knell for all dogs. Some dogs temperment responds well to assisted lifting with rear end leashes and/or carts to aid in their capacity for independent movement.
The hardest issue can be if one member of a couple or other family member just can't deal with the pet's functioning issues and wants the end faster than you do. Prayer and good discussion is essential so that the best choice comes about.
And of course, visit your vet and ask the hard questions about time line. What does he/she think? And ask your dog. I know it sounds strange but I've heard this before and for many suffering dogs they'll tell you what they want/need.

For she/he is more experienced and it would give you emotional damage to know that you put down your dog, cat, etc. Euthanasia is a hard process to watch and go through, so do what you think would be best for you.
