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 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.
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 Juber was caring, kind, and respectful. She was patient and explained every step along the way. We were able to surround our Bella as she peacefully passed in the comfort of our home. We are very grateful to have found Dr. Juber.
Dr. Juber is such a kind soul. She was very comforting in a very difficult decision. Great bedside manner with our Rottie during her final moments. She sat with us as we shared stories, laughed and cried while our sweet girl went to sleep. We received a very personalized card about 2 weeks later that touched all of our hearts and reassured us that we made the right decision. We can’t thank her enough for making a very sad decision a more pleasant experience.
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.
Dr. Juber showed remarkable compassion and empathy towards my family during a challenging time. Her clear explanations and thoughtful answers helped us navigate the process, allowing our beloved Chico to transition and cross that rainbow bridge with peace and dignity.
