re: When to put your dog down

Your dog probably has something it lives for--walks, chasing the ball, a particular treat, etc. When it loses its enthusiasm for those things, it's time.



One particular issue for your dog is that it has trouble keeping food down. The ideal diet for a dog with cancer is 40% fat, 40% protein, and 20% (or less) carbs. That's supposed to help slow the tumor since malignant cells feed off carbs. But it's also rough on the dog's digestive system.
