re: When to put your dog down

Had to put my 11 year old golden retriever down earlier this year. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Give him the best meal of his life, say your goodbyes, and let him go before he starts suffering. My vet put my girl to sleep first (like actual sleep) before he gave the lethal injection. She went peacefully and I know it was the right decision.
