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 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.
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.
Using at home pet euthanasia, was the best decision I made. To have a pet pass in a home that he had so many memories and where so much love given made the experience peaceful for not only him but myself. I will recommend Dr Rebecca and this way to anyone who ask. I encourage anyone to use this service to help it be private and special moment between an owner and a pet. Travis and I will always have that moment and it’s all thanks to Dr Rebecca and this service.
Dr. Houck was wonderful from our first interaction just after scheduling the appointment, throughout care and follow up. Her care and compassion for both my family and our pet helped to ease the pain of a very difficult situation. I can’t recommend her enough.
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.
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
