Bea we had to put down our choc lab awhile ago. The vet asked if we would like to be in the room when they gave him the needle. Do NOT do it. It will stay in your head forever. Let them take your dog in the back and do what they have to. If you witness it, it never leaves your mind. Terrible image. Sorry for your loss.
11:45 am

11:47 am

I know people who have done it the other way, and they would agree with you
11:47 am
bichon
Agree 100% I was in the room when one of ours was put down. I picked him up and he was lifeless
12:15 pm
gingin
I had to put my dog down a long time ago. I was in the room and held him, so he was not at all frightened. I would do it again if I had to. He had been injured badly, in an accident and it was the only kind thing to do. I grieved for a long time, but I take solace in that I was with him and he knew I loved him.
12:18 pm
Habes
I think it's easier for your pet if you're there with them to show your love for them.
12:47 pm

I would want to be in the room of any pets if they are going to die or be put down
