💜 How Do I Know It’s Time to Say Goodbye? 💜

Thinking about a pet's end of life is never easy. It really all comes down to quality of life (QOL). Assessing your pet’s quality of life is a very personal matter and really depends on your pet’s personality and condition. Nobody knows your pet better than you and your family, and you are ultimately the best judge of quality of life for your pet.

Some common signs of declining quality of life include:
🔹Dramatic changes in appetite or thirst;
🔹Decreased interest in playing or family activities;
🔹Intractable pain or anxiety;
🔹Inability to stand or walk without assistance;
🔹Becoming incontinent or loss of housebreaking;
🔹Having fewer “good” days than “bad” days.

At Wholistic Paws, we recognize that assessing quality of life can be overwhelming, and we will do our best to help and guide you in making these decisions.
