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 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.
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.)
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 wonderful. The process is difficult of course, but she made everything much easier. We will definitely call again when another time comes. This was our first experience with home euthanasia and we highly recommend it.
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.
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 ❤️
