**Be with them until the end.**

**Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what was the most difficult part of his job. The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep. **

The fact is that 90 % of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so they don't see their pet leave. But they don't realize that it's in these last moments of life that their pet really needs them. And Hillcrest Veterinary Clinic in South Africa has posted on their Facebook page for all people with pets. Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end. ′′ It's inevitable that they die before you. Don't forget that you were the center of their life.

Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don't leave them. Don't let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don't like. Vets are very painful to watch this. On how pets cannot find their owner in the last minutes of their life. They don't understand why he left them. After all, they needed his consolation. Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared. But they are complete strangers to them. Don't be a coward who thinks it's too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of your pets. Be with them until the end ".

My old girl took a bad turn last night and it was really sad to have to let her go. 12 years our companion. IMG-20220123-WA0070.jpg Petra. We will always cherish you in our memories.
 
This was my girl Hunny Bee, she was always gritty and headstrong as daschunds always are...IMG_20220124_195102.jpg
After my cocker spaniel Savannah passed away she quickly deteriorated. The drip was because she wasn't eating. I feel bad because I had to leave Singapore to come back to SA for uni over 7 years ago and I missed so much time with her. She passed peacefully on the couch surrounded by her stuffed animals she inherited from my ex step dads kids.
Having pets is something so special and I wish more people would be more attentive to their pets and give them all the love they deserve.

Ai @Stew , late last year we had to do the same, it is extremely painful. I take comfort that I was there at the end, even though it was extremely traumatic for my wife and I.
 
Yes, I would think so.
Yeah they are more connected and sensitive than we give them credit for. It was tough as we lost both of them just before Xmas. But my step dad made it absolutely comfortable for them, ice cream, peanut butter, all those good things they don't usually get. They were spoilt and I wouldn't have it any other way
