Vet wants to put down my dog. What should I do

don't be selfish. be compassionate.

lol perhaps or

Get a 2nd opinion. Take the X-rays to another vet and get blood work done.

lol @ grain free diet. where exactly do dogs get these in the wild?

Are his mucous membranes pale? Signs of anemia? Even if it's dcl there is specific medication for it so you should at least try.

All the best of luck, hope you can have some more healthy years together

my dog is 10 and i cook 2 hamburgers for him a day

ask the dog...he may WANT to go...he may not.
make sure and ask yes or no questions, its easier to answer for them.

Don't bite, don't create a swarm, oké hey wasp you get that?

My heart goes out to you and your dog.

It is so hard to see our pets suffer like this.

I give my cat more meat then myself once a while

Preasure will get back

Yeah, this. Red flag. Find a vet that's not shilling for purina.

Get second opinion and check for Bloat. Plus blood work. Dogs don't eat grains.

Brain dental, or food cancer

Definitely get a second opinion. I did that a few years ago and I still think about what if...

That still is pesticide

Probably the best thing you could feed him.

Some people have good results with raw chicken diets.

My one buddy was paying some ridiculous price for natural dogfood online and the dog died of cancer at like 6 years old.

I think I let my pet die if I don't have a car at my disposal

I rather have personal ordered rain on a grain patch of 3 by 3 meter

and it's cheaper than canned dog food.

That's all he gets? That's not enough nutrition.

Dogs are not solely carnivores. Like humans, they are omnivores and need more than meat alone

1) supplements: vitamin, mineral chews or powder to add to home made dog food. Eggshells are good for calcium.. cook, grind & add to food

2) veggies: cook up squash, parsnips, carrot, sweet potato, peas, etc...

3) Fruit: blueberries, cranberries, Apple, peach, pear

4) Oil: fish or salmon oil liquid, capsules added to food. Eggs.

5) Grains: cooked rice, quinoa, millet

Most beef nowadays is from cows fed on a GMO and corn diet. Lots of antibiotics and additives are unhealthy.

Can also try making burgers out of ground turkey or ground chicken for variety

Good lord.

My childhood dog lived to be almost 17 years old. He was a Bichon Frise. We fed him just regular old dog food.

My sister's cat died just before I think it was her 18th birthday. She ate regular cat food, no special diet, and did not see a vet until we had to take her in because she had ended up having a stroke. That's when she was put down. Before that, never went to the vet.

whaaaaaaaat !!!! no chia ? animal abuse right here .

So your feelings are more important than your dog's suffering.

Let him live his life peacefully at yours and his home. That’s my advice.

Also every animal and human needs some salt in diet

Our cows eat the farm foods not us

For the rest there was just a lake or few to swim in.
