Dog dementia - when is it time?

Hi all - my 11 year old rescue has dementia and has had it since he has been 8 ( so quite young).

He is really mixed. Sometimes he seems ok and others he is getting stuck behind doors, in the shower, shaking and looking really panicked / try’s to dig anything like the sofa or bed.

He has had the odd pee in the house with it - but nothing major.

Today we were driving home - he was having a moment so I brought him in with me. He peed on me while he was lying down and seemed totally unaware.

When is the right time? He is happy when he is ok and scared when he isn’t 🙁
