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
Dr Mary was truly kind and compassionate during our appointment. We ended up having to schedule the visit sooner than we initially expected as our senior kitty got rapidly worse. Nothing about that day was easy, but everything was taken care of for us so we just got to be there for our companion. Dr Mary walked us through every step of the process, making sure we and our senior kitty were comfortable the whole time. I am so grateful we were able to say goodbye at home, where our kitty felt safe, and get those precious extra minutes with him.
Second time we have met with Dr. Mary, she is the absolute best vet to use for this very difficult time. She is sweet and does her best to make sure your pet is comfortable all the way. Thank God, there are people that choose to do this for others. Thank you again Dr. Mary ❤️
I had to put down my 18 year old Shih Tzu, and it was obviously a very emotional time. I cannot stress how reassuring and gentle Dr. Mary was in being at our home and making our dog's passing as calm and beautiful as it could be. We all got to hold him in a place he felt safe, and he was comfortable and loved to the end. She took a difficult time for us and made it so we could feel we spared him any pain and fear. I am beyond grateful for how she helped us.
Very kind, Patient, understanding, observant and accommodating. A few things that are certainly worth mentioning in addition to her being quickly responsive and fully communicative she was prompt on the day planned. Dr.Juber came fully prepared with different treats toys and all the love from someone who has worked with animals. Dr. Juber’s consideration and handling for the whole vulnerable situation was outstanding and should definitely be praised. Her thoughtfulness showed as she came with a box for lockets of hair for our dog. Along with a handwritten letter that was sent a few days after. A kind lady doing a kind service.
It was a miracle that we found CodaPet at a very difficult time. Our Vet who has helped us out with other difficult decissions was not available so we had to locate another Vet. We reached out to CodaPet. They sent Dr. Mary Juber to us. Dr. Mary was extremely sensative to the decission we had to make for our Bailey who was 22 and was suffering with kidney failure. She was like an Angel sent to us.She was so gentle with our Bailey. Dr. Mary was also well aware of our sadness and emotional needs.We feel so Blessed to have had Dr. Mary Juber help us get thru this difficult choice we had to make. God Bless, Larry & Kathy
