The vet has medicines that put dogs to sleep, and these medicines are controlled substances and not available to the general public. I know because we also wanted to put our older dog to sleep at home, but they don't sell the medicines to dog owners.
There may be vets that make house calls, but they are the ones who usually deal with the larger animals and not dogs.
If it is a cost issue, call around, we found that there is a wide range of cost for this service.
The local ASPCA or Humane Society will take in your pet free and if he or she is sick they can humanely euthanize. Although with this method you will not get the ashes.
When a dog is signed over to Animal Services doesn't mean the dog will be put tp sleep. That being said, the former owner can ask for Animal Services to take the animal to the shelter and ask for the animal to be humanely euthanized. If the Animal Services "Officer" stated they will "put the dog to sleep" that means the dog will be taken to the shelter, placed in quarantine for a few days (possibly) and then humanely euthanized/destroyed due to concerns about the general well being and safety of the community.
putting the dog to sleep
yes, but only if the shelter euthanize animals. If they have a no kill policy your in luck if not they often only keep them anywhere from 24 hour to a week. most animal shelter that euthanize there animals usually keep the dog for an average of 3 days. If it has a dog tag or the dog has a chip they will call you.
Some veterinarians will make a house call for euthanasia - call your vet to find out if this is offered. There is training for how to humanely euthanize a dog via gunshot, but you have to place the bullet in a very specific spot and it makes a rather large mess - not all that pretty an end for a pet.
You don't, because you don't have the medicines to make it painless. Go to your vet or a shelter and have them do it humanely so that your dog doesn't suffer.
No, it is not safe or humane to use sleeping pills meant for humans to euthanize a dog. Euthanasia should only be performed by a trained veterinarian using approved methods to ensure a peaceful and painless process for the animal. It is important to seek professional assistance in these circumstances.
If a dog has rabies, then a humane society MUST kill the dog. it depends if its a no-kill shelter or not. You need to call and find out if they euthanize dogs or not.
This is really up to the owner of the dog. If a dog is suffering and you do not think it will heal anytime soon, I would supposed the sooner the better.
Absolutely not. Take the poor thing to a vet to be humanely euthanized by injection. or just shoot it
best thing is just to take him to the vet
I would suggest taking your dog to a vet, whatever is left of the claw could maybe be humanely removed and/or the area numbed by the vet. Don't let her suffer to long .
