It’s never an easy decision to make. Sometimes, the kindest thing you can do for a pet that is so ill or severely injured that they'll never be able to resume a quilty life, is to have your veterinarian provide a humane death by euthanasia.

Such a decision may be one of the most difficult ones you'll ever make for your pet. Although euthanasia is a personal decision, it doesn’t need to be a solitary one. Your veterinarian, family and close friends can help you make the right decision and can support you as you grieve the loss of your pet.

About the organization: The American Veterinary Medical Association's vision is to be the trusted leader in protecting, promoting and advancing a strong, unified veterinary profession that meets the needs of society.
