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
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.
Dr. Mary was increadible in helping us feel comfortable during such a difficult time. She was so kind, helpful and gentle in explaining each step of her process. I can confidently say our sweet boy felt that compassion and love right up until the end, she made him feel so comfortable! At the end, she was respectful to give us the time and space we needed - without exchanging any words. I would highly recommend her at-home euthanasia services when the unfortunate time comes for you and your sweet pet 💗
"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."
Dr. Mary Juber showed us such kindness and thoughtfulness during this awful time. She was very helpful and was quick to respond to any questions and concerns that we had. I highly recommend Dr. Juber and Codapet.
Dr. Mary Juber did an amazing job at making Scout's final moments peaceful. She was wonderfully kind and patient with us through every step. Every step of the process was at our pace. I am eternally grateful this was an option for him and that there are people able to take on such a heavy job.
Thank you for your lovely card. It meant a lot. It was such a pleasure to meet you and for you to fit me into your schedule Minnie is now at peace. You I have to say are the most compassionate Vet I’ve come across in a long, long time. Best wishes to you always in gratitude.Gerri
