When is it time to put down your pet?

every situation is different, but for me, and just about everyone, its about pain and suffering, if they arent in pain and suffering them its not time.

they are part of your family and just like you wouldnt unplug your kids and let them die if they were sick, you dont kill your animals just because its inconvenient for you.

we had a dog with arthritus so bad his back legs stopped moving and he would drag them, and it slowly went blind, but he wasnt suffering and we helped him be as comfortable as possible. he lived another 5 years like that and seemed happy and did everything he could to stay with us wherever the family was.

we also had a much younger dog, it got cancer and wouldnt/couldnt eat and was clearly hurting and suffering, so we put her down.
