    Default Losing a dog, services, etc?

    Well unfortunately my English setter developed what appears to be bone cancer according to the vets and is declining rapidly, flying home now to be with him and the family.

    so I can prepare myself, what have you guys used in the past when it became necessary to put your dog down, cremation services, etc?

    Sorry to hear. Good looking pup. I'm no help on any services or such.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    Sorry for your loss. I lost Smithie about 8 years ago to the same thing.
    I took her to a vet that helped her go to sleep and too care of cremation. Just as well I was a basket case that night.

    I have heard of Home to Heaven service mentioned a few times here.

    We used Caring Pathways a few years ago and they came to the house to perform the euthanasia. It was nice to have it out in the yard where our pup was comfortable and it was much nicer than being at the vet's office. They took care of the cremation services and everything.

    Sorry you have to go through this.

    Looks like he's had a great life, sorry for his and your pain.

    We used Caring Pathways as well. Made a really hard time a little less stressful, for us as well as for our pup.

    Uncanny similarity. Our pup Tango is rapidly dying from bone cancer too. She saw an oncologist yesterday, no good options. We’re trying to keep her comfortable. Sorry about Bullet. This just sucks.
