I'd rather fork out $100 to let them go peacefully and painlessly.

I'm a freelance pet euthanizer

As a parent of an aging dog who I love dearly, what happens if a pet is having a stroke or something late at night and you live 15 minutes away from a pet emergency room?
Do you just try to get there as quickly as possible? I suppose that's the only option.

Every pet I've ever had.
Owe them that much. No dog of mine is dying on a stainless table.

When I was in high school, my mom accidentally ran over the family cat. We thought it was dead and my mom and sister just couldn't pick her up and bury her. Dad was at work so I was left to do it. It was very sad.
Picked it up, placed it in an old grocery bag, and dug the hole. When I placed her in the hole, she meowed again. I was shocked because I thought she was dead. So in an instant, I made the executive decision to not bury her alive and put her out of her misery right then and there before burying her.
I still am haunted by having to do that. Sometimes I even have nightmares where that little bitch comes back and is a demon, terrorizing me and my family.
True story.

The reason I'll never do it myself like I did is I knew she thought I was taking her out to play. It just felt incredibly wrong. You have a point about the vet trip being traumatic in itself but they do make house calls. More expensive than a bullet but worth it to me.

or make someone else go through the painful process of putting down your pet?

A couple of years ago, my sweet wonderful female Rottweiler had to be put down due to cancer. I'm not afraid to admit that I cried all the way to the vets office in Covington. I watched the vet put her down, the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

After watching both methods I am convinced that a .22 to the head is much more painless than anything the vets do.

I didn't but my dad did. Was the house dog. Lived for 14-15 years. I was at LSU at the time i think and my mom was at work and couldn't leave. Either way my dad went to the vet and had to put him down himself. Was the hardest thing for him to do

Yes, once. One of our dogs escaped and climbed the CL fence into a pen where our black mouth curs were. They ripped her belly open and left her to die at 3 a.m.
Had no choice but to end her suffering. I said my goodbyes to her and cried before, during, and afterwards. It's a terrible feeling but had to be done.
