Verified Veterinarian
I decided I wanted to become a veterinarian after watching one carefully and methodically remove two dozen porcupine quills from the face of my family's Labrador when I was 8 years old. Early in general practice, I concluded that one of the greatest gifts we can offer our patients is peace in their passing. As the years went on, I realized doing so in the comfort and familiarity of the pet's home is yet another gift we can provide. And thus the desire to provide in-home euthanasia arose.

We had the best experience with Dr. Houck. She was so kind and considerate during such a hard time for our family. She made the process as quick and easy as possible.
I am so thankful for Dr. Rebecca Houck's compassion, kindness, empathy, care, and concern. She was so patient with us and let us spend as much time as we needed in saying good-bye to our 16 1/2 year old and 14 1/2 year old fur kids. She was so good in explaining all the process and how things would go as we sent them across the Rainbow Bridge. Our hearts were and are broken, but she made a very sad and difficult experience so much more bearable. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rebecca Houck if you are needing in home euthanasia. I can't imagine saying good bye to beloved fur family members any other way. Thank you so much Dr. Houck.
We were fortunate to have Dr. Houck to assist our wonderful boy move on. Her communication before and during the visit was kind, caring and thoughtful. Would highly recommend.
Dr. Houck was nothing short of amazing. She made the process as easy as possible. She was so thoughtful and caring! We cannot thank her enough for guiding us through such a difficult time.
OMG!!! Rebecca was a rock star!!! While the event was tragic to us, she made the experience so much better than having to take our beloved dog to the vet, which made her afraid any way. Having her at the house was so much better for our dog, and us. Will definitely use her again and recommend everyone needing her services call her!!!!
Dr. Houck was so kind and respectful of both our beloved pet and of the family. Would highly recommend her. She made a difficult time easier as we said our goodbye to a much loved pet.
