This. Ask around for who may be less aggressive. I assume they are talking some form of chemo for your dog? Fortunately (if you can see it that way) there is no wrong answer. My dog deteriorated with arthritis. All sorts of hip surgeries were discussed but not pushed. Ours was 14. We let her be. Got a year with her. Kept her comfortable until we just knew it was time. How’d we know? She stopped taking joy from food. Less tail wagging. Also, one day she stumbled and fell. It was like a horse. She almost did not get up. You could see it in her face that she didn’t want to.

It was time.
