I think it's time when either the pets in extreme pain qauility of life is deminished or an animal is a danger to other pets or people. I think a pet owner sometimes needs to relize putting off haveing your pet euthanised is not for the pets sake but for there own, you love the animal and feel like your commiting murder, but this is a decision as a pet owner you must be prepared to make because you love you pet and don't want it to suffer or hurt someone. I can understand how hard it is because I had to make this decision with my golden retreiver Mandy which I had for 13 years to make it worse it was right after my daughter lost her fight for life with lung cancer.

Dogs are euthanized for a variety of reasons. Some of the more common medical reasons include severe injury, advanced disease, significant loss of quality of life associated with advanced age, severe behavioral issues (such as people-aggression that has led to the dog biting people). Dogs are also euthanized for financial reasons: either an owner cannot afford treatment and doesn't want the dog to suffer or the dog is unwanted/unaffordable for the owner (usually performed in an animal shelter rather than a vet clinic). Finally, some dogs are euthanized because there are just too many of them with not enough people who want to adopt them; this is one of the best reasons to have your dog spayed/neutered when it turns about 6 months old - avoiding unwanted and unplanned puppies.

A dog from the Soviet Union, Laika, was launched in the Sputnik 2 rocket on November 3, 1957.

Do you need licence for a pit bull puppy in north London?

Unfortunately, everywhere in the UK requires a special license for you to own a Pit Bull Terrier or American Staffordshire Terrier. Without a license, your Dog may be taken off you and euthanised due to the law. If you get a license, your Dog will need to be kept on the lead and muzzled in public and sterillized. Otherwise it is illegal to own this poor, stereotyped breed in the UK.
