Has anyone ever had to be in the vets office when their dog is put down? I hope they are very understanding of a grown man breaking down like a little girl, because I'm fairly sure that's what I will do when the time comes. Hopefully my dogs die peacefully in their sleep.

One of the things many don't think about is what to do with the deceased pet. Cremation is reasonable...some places do not allow burial on residential property. A vet will sometimes do a necropsy (autopsy of an animal) if they were in treatment to verify things. The animal is then wrapped up in a plastic bag and frozen until a collector comes for the bodies. The vet will know where those bodies end up.
It's morbid, but better to plan ahead than call a week later hoping to get your pet back.
for our neighbor, I believe the vet took the animals remains with him. The dog was later cremated, and my neighbor picked up the ashes ~5 days later.
Hey everyone, there were some complications and we had to put her to sleep earlier than expecte. Thank you so much for everything.

Condolences, man.Hey everyone, there were some complications and we had to put her to sleep earlier than expecte. Thank you so much for everything.
My step-dad's 16 yr old cat had to be put down due to health complications. He took him out to a relative's place in the country, let him lie in the full green grass, sun shining, slight breeze, then shot him in the head with a rifle. Better than on a cold metal table in a building with a bunch of barking dogs. Cheaper too.
You must have a really crappy vet's office.
Unfortunately for every good kill that was owner inflicted, there are dozens of second and third attempts needed.

The other dog was not present, we didn't know if we were supposed to take him or not since it took place at the vet. She was just very very old and couldn't breathe well at all and had a bunch of problems. She definitely knew we were there and it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Very well done and totally painless. Lots of laughing and crying, but we all did most of our crying on the way there.
Thanks again.
RIP Peanut, my first pet ever. Thanks for the good times.
