So having to put my dog down is traumatic enough, but then to learn that you have to pay more to stay with your dog during the procedure is incredible. They may be great in other things, but this policy is amazingly cruel and inhuman. It seems designed to encourage owners not to stay or to fleece them a few extra bucks when they are the most vulnerable. The board should retract this policy immediately. I am too upset to decide now, but I think I need to find a different vet.
