In the final part of my conversation with Peggy Frezon, author of Goodbye to a Good Dog, we discuss a deeply personal question many people face after losing a beloved pet: Should I get another dog—and how will I know when I’m ready?

There is no correct timeline and no single answer. Some people welcome another dog quickly, while others need more time or decide not to adopt again. A new dog can never replace the one you lost, but when the time feels right, they can open your heart to a new and entirely different relationship.

A heartfelt thank-you to Peggy for sharing her wisdom, faith, personal experiences, and compassion throughout this five-part series.

In Part 3 of my conversation with Peggy Frezon, author of Goodbye to a Good Dog, we discuss one of the most painful decisions a pet owner may ever face: knowing when it is time to say goodbye.

How can you tell whether your dog still has a good quality of life? Are the difficult days beginning to outnumber the good ones? We talk about recognizing changes in comfort, mobility, appetite, enjoyment, and everyday activities—and why you should not have to make this decision alone.

Your veterinarian can help you understand your pet’s condition, discuss available options, and work with you as a team. Although no one can remove the heartbreak, having honest conversations and reliable information can help you make a loving, informed decision based on your pet’s needs.
