What to expect at our neighborhood popup vet clinics across Greater Boston — including services, locations, and tips to prepare.

We believe most wellness care should happen right in your neighborhood. That’s why Tandem clinics are designed as full-service clinics on wheels. You’ll find us parked in high-density, pet-friendly areas across Greater Boston—ready to handle everything from vaccines to bloodwork without the hassle of a traditional clinic.

Here’s what you can expect when you stop by.

Are you mobile?

We get asked this all the time. The answer is yes—and then some.

Tandem popup clinics are mobile, fully equipped vet clinics that set up in central, walkable neighborhoods. We’re not house call vets. We don’t charge callout fees or make you wait around for four-hour appointment windows. We’re a modern alternative: care that’s nearby, affordable, and less stressful for pets and people.

Where you'll find us

We host popup clinics in neighborhoods across Greater Boston, including:

East Boston – near Maverick Station
Revere – along Revere Beach Blvd
Cambridge – Cambridge Crossing, Kendall Square, East Cambridge
Somerville – multiple residential neighborhoods
Quincy – North Quincy, Central Quincy, Marina Bay

Most clinics are just a few blocks from home or a short drive away.

What services we offer

We focus on core preventative, wellness care, and basic urgent care including:

  • Annual wellness exams
  • Vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP, Lepto, Bordetella, FVRCP)
  • Heartworm and Lyme testing
  • Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
  • Microchipping
  • Nail trims (as tolerated)
  • Basic diagnostics and bloodwork
  • Ear infections

All visits include a digital summary and follow-up care reminders.

All pets must arrive on a leash or in a carrier.

What pet owners are saying

Need More Than A Popup

We handle bloodwork, diagnostics, and preventative care right at the popup. But for surgeries, dental procedures, or urgent care, our full-service Somerville clinic is always available. And for in-between questions, our telehealth team is just a message away.
