Our Vet encourages the pet owner be present...to comfort their beloved pet as it passes.
I've even seen where they dim the lights in the exam room to make it a calmer environment for the pet...and I suppose the family, too.
I especially chose the Yorkie Breed because of their mortality rate...I want 'em to be around forever but, I also want them happy & free of any misery when that day comes so...I'll definitely be there saying my goodbyes & cradling them in my arms.
Hopefully, that day will be a very long time coming for any of my girls
