I agree.
I might just have stubby legs or arthritis. Its not like its dying, you don't kill a lady because she cant make it up the stairs

It’s about quality of life. It’s got to be a personal call. If dealing with the stairs is too much for you and the dog then maybe it is time. There is no hard and fast rule. I find that a dog will let you know when it’s not having fun anymore.

You know, some people can't CLIMB stairs, should we kill them, too?

My dog is scarred of stairs, he is perfectly healthy and 2 years old, besides we don't want him up stairs.

No way! It's like killing YOU because you can't jump a hurdle.

Wow. I disagree. That's just wrong. It isn't the animals fault he can't climb down stairs. You should help it get down or up the stairs not put him down!!!!!!!

I would accommodate a pet downstairs, but that's maybe just me.

No. Why should you? Dogs didn't have to climb stairs during evolution. If you capture a dog from the wild (or acquire a descendant of a dog captured from the wild) and put it in an unnatural environment where it has to climb stairs, you are responsible for its well-being. So you should help the dog overcome the problem it has, because you are the one who created that problem.

If you kill the dog just to make things more convenient for yourself, it is a shameful and immoral act and the dog should come back and haunt you for it.
