Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia
One part of my job that I felt was not done as well as it could be was helping pets at the end of their lives. In clinics, it can feel rushed because we need to move on to the next appointment and the process was not always smooth or comfortable for the pet or for their family, although I tried hard to make it so. I was able to offer in-home euthanasia services to pets on occasion, which was a much better experience for all involved. The opportunity to focus on helping pets in their own homes during such a difficult time is something I am so thankful to have. I have completed several courses in helping families with their pets' end-of-life care and have completed coursework to receive CPEV (Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Provider) certification through CAETA (Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy). Through continuing education and shared experiences with other care providers, I am always trying to learn better techniques to help these special family members. My husband and I are empty-nesters, and we share our home with our long-haired cat, Peanut. When I am not tending to our furry housemate, I enjoy reading, needlework, serving in our local church, and hiking, sailing, and traveling with my husband.

What pet parents are saying
The last 5 months of our beloved mini pinscher, Flora Lou's life were very difficult for all of us, as we didn’t want to let her go. We were heartbroken when we finally had to make this difficult decision, but were very pleased that CodaPet could perform in-home euthanasia, so that Flora’s last hours would be more comfortable at home with us. CodaPet staff were very cordial and professional over the phone and Dr. Mary Juber arrived at our home on time. Dr Mary greeted us with empathy, made herself comfortable in our own home environment, explained everything to us, and was well prepared using her veterinarian expertise to perform a compassionate and peaceful in-home euthanasia for Flora. I am still grieving for Flora, but as I write this personal in-home euthanasia experience, I am pleased to say that Dr. Mary gave us great support, love and care while we said goodbye, and also personally taking care of and returning Flora’s ashes to us. Thank you so much, Dr. Mary.
Extremely professional and compassionate. Amazing kindness. Very thorough and helpful. In our time of hurt, she was a caring voice. Definitely recommend her to anyone wanting/needing this service.
Dr. Mary was great. She was warm, kind, empathetic and professional. We felt very at peace with the whole process. She made a very difficult experience a little more bearable . She reassured us that this was the right decision and helped us through the whole process. Thank you Dr. Mary for helping us give Layla a peaceful goodbye in the comfort of our home.
Dr. Mary was so amazing for the hardest day of our life. She was so professional yet so personable and made us all feel calm and at peace during the entire process. We are so grateful for her.
Peace, kindness and dignity are the words to best describe the experience. It was such a difficult time but Dr. Mary helped us by reassuring us that we were doing right by our sweet Milly. My last memories of my beloved pup are of her being at peace surrounded by her loving family.
Dr. Mary was wonderful to work with throughout this process. She brought me so much comfort during the last moments of my dog's life. She kindly explained the entire process and patiently helped us help our dog during his last moments. It was a blessing for her to come and for us to be able to do it outside in his favorite spot.
