Were you with your pet at 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. A vet was asked what was the most difficult part of his job. He answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for the eyes of their owners before going to sleep. The fact is that 90% of owners don't want to be in the room with a dying animal. People leave so that they don't see their pet leaving forever. But they don't realise that it's in these last moments of life that their pet needs them the most.

Many vets 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 centre 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. It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owners during the last minutes of their life. They don't understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner's 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 because it's too painful for you. Think about your pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their sake. Be with them until the end."

Not all pets die before their owners. It's not "inevitable".

@Fluffybull No, but it's sad they are left behind as they must miss this their owners and have to try to get used to new ones.
