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
Mary was extraordinarily kind and compassionate. She was thorough in her explanation of everything that she was doing and treated both Belle and her human family with great tenderness. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that requires her services. She made a very difficult situation into a gentle letting go of our much loved Belle.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
