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 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 were so thankful to have Dr. Houck come to our home and help us to say goodbye to our beloved Jake. She was very kind, compassionate and we knew that Jake was comfortable. Dr. Houck explained what was happening every step of the way and her calming presence made this so much easier to cope with. She even offered a hug at the end. Highly recommend this service!
Dr. Houck made this whole process so mich easier. I couldn't ask for a more peaceful and calm passing. Thank you so much for all you do to make this process so much more peaceful.
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.
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.
We recently used in-home pet euthanasia through CodaPet and was very pleased with how Rebecca Houck handled our dog Ozzy. She was so kind and thoughtful in handling Ozzy. It was helpful having him here at home during this time.
