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.

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.
We were greatly blessed to have Dr. Houck help our dearly loved Buster. She was an answer to prayer and came earlier than scheduled, due to his increase of pain. She was professional and compassionate and so very gentle in her demeanor and with our Buster. Though we miss our sweet baby boy more than words can describe, we are so thankful for his most peaceful passing. Thank you, Dr. Houck, from the bottom of our hearts. Virgil & Lisa
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
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.
We highly recommend Dr Rebecca Houck. You can tell she's an experienced vet and knows what she's doing. My family was grateful we found her for this very difficult decision. The process went very smooth. Lil Man 9/2007 - 01/2025 ❤️
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.
