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.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
