I personally think death ought to be looked upon much as life is for our pets. We ought to do what we can to make their deaths comfortable, secure and peaceful ... just as we try to make their lives that way.

I hate the thought of having to take my dogs to the vet to be euthanized, when and if that time comes. Fortunately, there is a vet here that will come to your home and euthanize your pet. That is definately what I will do if I ever have to have one of my dogs euthanized. It seems the least I can do, to allow them to die at home, secure and comfortable, with some dignity. That's really the best any of us can hope for in the end, isn't it?

I agree that a vet should never just send the drug home with the pet owner. Too much can go wrong, and too much potential for danger exists. But I feel strongly that vets ought to make house calls for euthanasia.
