How to euthanize a dog at home?

How to euthanize a dog at home?

In the US, it's illegal to do so. You'll need to talk to your vet.

you should have not even asked that on this page because if you can do that then you should not even have gotten the dog!! You need to just take the poor defensless animal to the vet and let them handle it the appropriate way and humane way. You must not have a heart of any kind to want to do this because spca or any place like that will do it for no cost as long there is something wrong the animal. Besides if you can try to or even think about euthanizing an animal at home with your own hands what could you be doing or thinking about killing next? I just want to know what kind of person you are or even a human with a heart that could do that to anything that has a heart beat still???

That's easy. Call your vet and have him/her come to your house to properly perform a safe and humane euthanisia.

TO MOTHERTERESAO1 I AM AN ASPCA MEMBER. I HAVE AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD ROTTWEILER NAMED FREIDA. SHE HAS BEEN WITH US SINCE SHE WAS SIX WEEKS OLD.WE HAVE A ONE ACRE PROPERTY SHE HAS LIVED HER ENTIRE LIFE. WE ALSO HAVE A SIX YEAR RAT TERRIER NAMED ROCKET. WE GOT HIM DURING A FLOOD AND HE CONTRACTED PARVO. WE CURED HIM AT 5 MONTHS OLD. FREIDA IS ONE IF NOT THE BEST DOG I HAVE HAD OUT OF MAYBE 20 DOGS IN MY 42 YEARS OF LIFE. SHE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH PYOMETRIA. HER OPTIONS ARE SLIM SHE WON'T SURVIVE SURGERY BECAUSE OF HER AGE SHE HAS SEEN 2 CHILDREN AND 4 GRAND CHILDREN GROWING UP HERE. NOT TO MENTION HER ONLY LITTER SHE HAD WHEN SHE WAS TWO. I WAS UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR VIEW ON WHY IT IS UNNACCEPTABLE TO MAKE HER COMFORTABLE AS SHE DIES HERE AT HOME, RATHER THAN IN AN UNFAMILIAR PLACE TO TAKE HER LAST BREATH. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, PLEASE BE KIND TO THEM. THEY WILL CHOOSE YOUR NURSING HOME.

Take your dog to the vet. Why have you placed such a serious question under the caption 'Fun Advice'? I had my 15 yo dog euthanised tonight at the vet, and as God is my witness, nothing about it was 'Fun!' Please take it to the pound and ask if it can be put to sleep there if money is a problem. But do NOT let them gas it. Only intravenous euthanasia is acceptable.

I think it is how you and your dog would be comfortable doing it. You know your pet. If you think it would be more soothing to pass while at home, then do it at home. Be responsible with your decision. Schedule a lisenced vet. to come to your home. People will pass judgement no matter your reason. Keep it in perspective, where would you want to be and who would you be with? At home with the ones you love. How can you feel bad or guilty about that? I wish I knew I had that option before I laid down with my dog on the cold vet. hospital floor.

a rescue remale dog rotwieller/other mix,, killed my female labrador. I was thinking about euthinizing a the dog...After reading all the post on this site..I may give the dog a reprive Yes I miss my baby I raised from 8week to to april 26,2008...The grief was great. AFter failing to find a place for disposal I pulled out the hydrogen work lamp and got a new shovel and started digging in the back yard 4-6 feet deep place my baby in the ground. Then covered her up planted Marigold flowers across the top of here resting place then put pet moss on top of that... and the board that she chewed from out the basment well it here head stone for now...AS for her killer she growled at me and before I knew I it had it by the throat and 'attitude adjustment by hank william Jr. might have gotten played out... was in order 'like is screamed bloody murder... never had a problem with another growl... I found it hard to live with a dog that hurt you by killing the other dogs that you loved... What worse everytime I see all the picture me and the dog took here(photographer) that attidue ajustment theme just jumps back in head..everybody on the street and some people at the church loved this dog...
