re: Putting Dog Down: Vet Gouging Me?

Associated Veterinarians on Greenwell Springs near Airline. They've put down cats for me a couple of times recently. No questions asked. Last one was $75, so a little pricey. But, absolutely no questions asked.

I've never had a vet do a physical.before euthanasia, or a quarterly heartworm check. Also, I worked for a vet for a couple years, and have had lots of dogs, thus lots of vet visits.
If they have seen the dog at all in the past year or so, know it's history, that's (the physical for euthanasia) unnecessary. But the quarterly HW check is a red flag for me.
Find another vet.
**All of the above is IMHO.

Yeah but that might be hard with a beloved pet.
Personally I've always hated the term "destroyed" when referring to putting an animal down.

Why on earth would you use a .22. I've shot a raccoon point blank in the head and watched it struggle to death. No way I would use something smaller than a 9mm on a pet.
But I personally don't have the stones to shoot a dog in the first place.
I wouldn't use a shotgun either. Want to talk about a mess.

people use .22 to shoot cows all the time. It's perfectly suitable if you shoot them in the brain.

Don't pay and use a 12 gauge. Otherwise, just pay what she's asking. Isn't your dog worth it?

It sounds cruel, but it's not. A big pile of hamburger out in her favorite spot in the yard and a .22 to the brainstem from behind is quick, painless, and the dog never knows anything's up or strange other than them getting delicious hamburger in the yard.
I get that it's painless for the dog (assuming it goes as planned) but looking at my dog after her head was blown off, by me no less, would be too much to take. Screw that.

Dig a hole.
Second:
Put said dog in hole.

I have two dogs now, one is 4 years old the other is 3.. The dog I had before these two had congestive heart failure.. It was around 2AM when he started hacking and trying to get his breath.. So we took him to the LSU vet school and he passed away as we were pulling into the parking lot. They tried to revive him, which they did but only for a few seconds. Once he died, they put him in a box for use to bury him in. I want to say they charged us $60 for working on him and all.. They even sent us a clay mold of is paw with his name on it , which was a nice gesture..
He was MY first dog, but the dog before him was a family dog. He had to be put down. He was old and had several things wrong. The vet checked him out, then put him down and we decided to allow him to cremate him. I would think checking out the animal before putting them down would be standard procedure.

no they don't. They might use a .22 charge in a captive bolt "gun", but "people" don't shoot cows very regularly.

yes, well your average pedestrian isn't exactly a marksman and an animals brain isnt that easy to find let alone hit when its head is moving.
I've watched people miss the cow's brain completely when its head was in a headgate. How the fuc do you miss under those circumstances?
So the average OTer trying to successfully cap their own pet is pretty much a bad time for the pet.

.22 behind the ear in a quiet place.
Dig the grave before.

Are y’all really squabbling over $50-100 bucks to make sure your dog is comfortable for its last moments? You would try to shoot your own dog in the head to save $100? This is pathetic
How would you like to go? Peacefully fall asleep or have some jackass make you a ham sandwich and try to shoot you in the back of the head while you are eating it?
Who is the animal here

its a scam, the vet in gonzales will put your pet down for $20 no questions asked as long as it doesnt appear young and healthy
others can charge from $50-$400 so call and ask around
most places will cremate the remains and discard them for you unless you want it back

How many years of happiness did your dog give you, and you are going to risk something going wrong and it suffering for the last moments of its life to save a couple of bucks? Not to mention have to live with the image of your dog with a hole in its head
Bunch of OT hardasses around here think it’s easy to shoot your dog in the head... don’t listen to them

No. Point missed.
I’d pay anything necessary to make my old shepherd comfortable. But the vet won’t do it without charging another $200 examine a dog who is without doubt at the end of her life.
I have put dogs down with a gun. Other animals as well. I grew up with animals on a farm.
When a vet wants to do a “full physical examination” on a 15 year old blind shepherd with dysplasia and partial paralysis, that vet is a frickin crook.

He’s treated her for years. He knows her condition. She’s 15, blind, and partially paralyzed. She’s very anxious.
I had a spaniel in the same condition, and I waited too long. Know what happened? He bit someone and had to be put down.

Why on earth would he have to assess her health before he ends her life?
Because they have a moral obligation to make sure it’s whats necessary. They aren’t going to kill and animal just because you tell them to.
I swear some y’all bitch for some dumb reasons.
