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 are very grateful to Dr. Houck for her compassionate care of our beloved 4-legged family member. We are so glad that we chose to do this at home as we cannot imagine a more peaceful passing for our little guy. Thank you Dr. Houck for providing this service!
Our in-home pet euthanasia experience occurred with Dr. Rebecca Houck on 3/3/25. Dr. Houck was in-home with us for an hour. She was gentle, compassionate, helpful, answered any and all questions, and departed as I had requested. The contacts we made to set up her visit were equally responsive, prompt, and efficient. I absolutely recommend Dr Rebecca Houck of CodaPet. (This is a recommendation for a specific vet who contracts her services to a national organization. She was the only vet available through Coda in our area and I can only speak to her skills and demeanor. I have no sense of the quality of other CodaPet vets.)
Dr. Rebecca Houck is amazing. She is calm and compassionate and helped us say goodbye to our 16 year old baby girl at home. I am so grateful I did not have to take her to the vet, as she would become very anxious on trips to the vet. This is an incredible service. Thank you Dr. Houck.
I can't say enough good about Dr. Rebecca Houck. We chose at home euthanasia for our 2 dogs, 16 1/2 and 14 1/2. She was kind, compassionate, gentle, patient, and caring. It was a very difficult time for us, and she gave us the time we needed to say goodbye and to let our other animals say goodbye, and she never made us feel rushed. I highly recommend having in home euthanasia and Dr. Rebecca Houck. She made a heartbreaking experience easier. Thank you Dr. Houck!!
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 knowledgeable and compassionate. Provided a comfortable end of life care for my beautiful dog. She was considering with her body after her death as well and made that experience bearable for me.
