Depressing: How to put a dog down if it hates the vet?

[mkazy]

Our vet came to our house to put down our 11 year old Weimeraner. It was a horrible time for us but our vet made it bearable. She was able to stay in favorite chair and I think she was very comfortable. We live in a rural area so vet house calls are not unusual.

Ditto pp. our vet does house calls for certain things.

I had someone come to the house for my sweet Remy.

She was kissed, pet, prayed over, and fed pizza.

I've also heard of vets coming to the house.

Ours was awesome. He scheduled us for the last appointment of the day and didn't have them come back into the exam room. He was gentle and didn't rush us at all. Dogs were nervous going in (they always were at the vet) but he was able to calm them down and it was a peaceful (albeit sucky) transition.
