My qt step-sister just had to have her doggo put down. What are some comforting things I can do/tell her?
My pupper died last year when some rando ran over him, and I just wanted to be left alone. But she's different.
Tell her that her dog lived a fucking fantastic life, and that she did a fucking fantastic job being her owner.
Don't expect this to help calm her, though. My dog is literally my best friend, and I am constantly feeling guilt that I have to put him on a leash, and only walk him an hour every day and not feed him more than his daily allowance of dog food even though it's built into his instinct to devour every morsel of food he sniffs.
My dog is my best friend because he isn't a human.
Perhaps your sister is feeling the same.

Well, already did that.
She's having him put down tomorrow. I was thinking of texting her something nice the day after, to make her feel better.
Silently acknowledge what is going on, silently acknowledge how she feels, and be present for her. Don't try to distract her by asking if she wants to A or go to B.

Say something like dogs live better lives than humans have, as she has no right to feel bad about feeling shame of her slavery of her dog because she is probrably going to live an unhappier life than her dog lived.
I dunno dude I'm drunk and I can't picture a way to make her happy. It's not really possible in a situation like this. She kinda has to feel sad about losing her doggo, it's the unspoken contract that dog owners live with.
Send her a funny meme to cheer her up.
