The word euthanasia is derived from Greek roots meaning “good death”. The decision to consider humane euthanasia for your pet can be very difficult, despite its ability to prevent pain or suffering. These quality of life scales can be used as a tool to help determine when considering humane euthanasia may be appropriate. These scales can be evaluated on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis as the outcomes may change over time.
