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.

Even though it was a tough decision to make Dr.Houck made it very easy . She was so caring and kind. I felt at peace with everything. I would definitely recommend her to anyone . She arrived on time and communicated with me throughout the entire process. I am so thankful I found her.
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 ❤️
Dr. Houck was so kind and compassionate when she came to our home. It's a wonderful service to have to be able to let your pet remain comfortable in their own home. Dr. Houck brought the sweetest basket to transport Gibson to the crematorium. I cannot thank her enough for helping Gibson to have a peaceful passing and took his medical concerns into consideration. Thank you, Dr. Houck.
OMG!!! Rebecca was a rock star!!! While the event was tragic to us, she made the experience so much better than having to take our beloved dog to the vet, which made her afraid any way. Having her at the house was so much better for our dog, and us. Will definitely use her again and recommend everyone needing her services call her!!!!
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.
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!
