We love everyone at Pepperell vet! Thank you for taking such good care of our dogs. Dr. Boyce is fantastic, and everyone we've ever spoken to you can tell cares deeply for animals. My current dog is doing wonderful and Dr. Boyce and the team has been so accommodating helping us treat her current health issues. She has had 2 surgeries/dental procedures with Dr. Boyce and I know she is always in good hands!
We used to live in Boston and the expenses here are always half of what they used to be. My family and I had to put our 15 year old dog down during Covid, which was heartbreaking for us all. They offered to have the medicine administered outside on the lawn behind the building. There was no rush felt and the staff showed great compassion for my dog, family and me. It was the most peaceful and great experience it could possibly be -truly what she deserved!

Currently you have to wait in your car and give them a call. At busy times, their phone can be constantly engaged, so you have to be persistent.

Last year they misdiagnosed our dog with an overactive thyroid while she actually had cancer. By the time they figured it out (months later) it was too late and we had no choice but to put her to sleep. They tried to get us to put her down outside, at night, in the freezing cold. We would not agree to those terms so they told us they would prepare a room for us inside. They wouldn't allow us to come in with the dog and said they would come get us when they got her set up. 15 minutes later they come out looking for us and bring us in a room where our dog was already heavily sedated and unresponsive.
We were there for her final minutes but there has been nothing that has hurt my soul more than knowing my dog was looking for me/my family in her final moments and thought we abandoned her. She was our family's protector and my companion during the darkest times of the pandemic and I hope that nobody has to experience anything like that with their pets.

We want to thank Dr Flanagan and Kim from the bottom of our hearts. They could not have been more caring and compassionate as we said goodbye to our dear Zoe today. They provided a loving calm, peaceful and comfortable end to her suffering.
