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.

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!!!!
I am so thankful for Dr. Rebecca Houck's compassion, kindness, empathy, care, and concern. She was so patient with us and let us spend as much time as we needed in saying good-bye to our 16 1/2 year old and 14 1/2 year old fur kids. She was so good in explaining all the process and how things would go as we sent them across the Rainbow Bridge. Our hearts were and are broken, but she made a very sad and difficult experience so much more bearable. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rebecca Houck if you are needing in home euthanasia. I can't imagine saying good bye to beloved fur family members any other way. Thank you so much Dr. Houck.
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 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 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.
We were so thankful to have Dr. Houck come to our home and help us to say goodbye to our beloved Jake. She was very kind, compassionate and we knew that Jake was comfortable. Dr. Houck explained what was happening every step of the way and her calming presence made this so much easier to cope with. She even offered a hug at the end. Highly recommend this service!
