1. Health Issues

If your dog is still eating, but he or she starts vomiting up the majority of the meal, there is a good chance that your dog’s digestive tract is no longer functioning as it should.

You will notice that the food your dog regurgitates is still whole in most cases, because his or her body is not capable of digestion.

Providing Comfort for a Dying Pet

As your dear companion reaches his or her end, there are steps you can take to try and offer what comfort you can in your dog’s final days. If you choose not to seek out euthanasia and keep your dog close at home, make sure that he or she has a warm, comfortable, and quiet place to sleep.

Make sure that food and water are always available, but if your dog shows no desire to partake, do not force him or her to eat or drink. Your dog understands what is happening perhaps better than you, and he or she knows that there is no reason to expend energy on eating. 

Again, comfort is the primary concern that you should have when it comes to helping your dog in this heartbreaking situation.

If your dog is struggling to move and walk around, even to go outside, consider creating a washable space where he or she can go to the bathroom or investing in pet diapers so that your dog will not have to strain itself.
