When I had to put our golden retriever down (15 years old, cancer) we called an in-home vet to do it since my dog hated the vet with a vengeance. She would get anxious in the car if we even took the vet’s freeway exit. We cooked her an entire pack of bacon, and sat there feeding it to her while the vet did their thing. It’s a tough thing to go through, but the assurance that my dog wasn’t scared on her way out was worth it
Did the same for our cat, minus the meal, because she couldn’t eat. She hated trips to the vet, and it was honestly easier on both of us not having to go somewhere, and getting to be at home. Will do it again for the next cat, unless he just disappears one day.

You are a good owner. And she was a good girl.
