Tandem Vet

Tandem Vet is a veterinary practice for cats and dogs serving Somerville, Cambridge and Boston, built around making vet care as convenient as possible. Its neighborhood mobile clinic brings wellness exams, vaccinations, screenings, lab tests and diagnostics directly to pet owners, and the practice partners with apartment and condo buildings to offer visits right where residents live. Transparent pricing is presented as a core principle, and exams, vaccines and mobile visits can be booked through the practice.

Tandem Vet also helps owners prepare pets for travel. Its veterinarians guide clients through domestic health certificates, known as Certificates of Veterinary Inspection, and international travel requirements, which can include rabies vaccinations within set time windows and USDA APHIS endorsement. The process starts with a travel inquiry, followed by an exam, any required medical care and the paperwork. Existing clients can also use telehealth options in addition to in-person care.
