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.

She was super kind to Jägermeister, and to the family. Her professionalism even with the minor setbacks was great, and you could tell she really did care about the situation we were going through. Truly could not have sent a better person.
Dr. Houck was very compassionate and made this decision so much easier. She answered any questions I had and fully explained the procedure. I am so thankful that I found them and let my boy cross to the rainbow 🌈 bridge in his own home and so peacefully. I would totally recommend In home euthanasia. I hope I never have to use this service again but I am sure I will use Codapet in the future for in home services. I can't thank Dr. Houck and Codapet enough for making this painful decision so easy to understand and so much less stress on Baxter and me. Tina Lang
Dr. Houck was so kind and compassionate when she came to our home. It's a wonderful service to have to be able to let your pet remain comfortable in their own home. Dr. Houck brought the sweetest basket to transport Gibson to the crematorium. I cannot thank her enough for helping Gibson to have a peaceful passing and took his medical concerns into consideration. Thank you, Dr. Houck.
Dr. Houck provides a wonderful service for pet owners. We deeply appreciate her demeanor and overall care that she provided to our 19-year-old cat. I highly recommend Dr. Houck when any pet owner has to makes this very difficult decision.
She was very gentle and caring. Having to say goodbye to our dog Cooper was a very difficult decision, but Dr. Houck helped Cooper stay calm and feel loved until the very end. I can't say more great things about this service being provided in the comfort of your own home.
I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience on something so difficult. Thank you for your kindness and comfort during this hard time! I will always recommend this service
