It had to be the worst experience of our life. Our young healthy dog was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Disease, she kept getting weaker and I questioned the treatment. I was told I had the option of euthanasia. After thousands of dollars, we could not bear to see her so weak and miserable and felt putting her to sleep was all we could do. The whole experience of putting her to sleep was horrific. No calming medication was given before to relax her, her passing was very painful for her and for us. Compared to our other experience, where our old dog just relaxed in our arms and was gone and this was with a small town vet in Idaho.\r

And then there is the issue of demanding for money, because we were very upset, we wanted to pay before we had our precious pet put to sleep, and that apparently wasn't convenient for the staff, not until we were in the room to put her down, did they come and want the money.
