Somerville-based Vet Care Business Celebrating 1 Year With Special Partnership

SOMERVILLE, MA — A veterinary care company is celebrating its first anniversary later this month with a community event that will also mark a new partnership with the Boston Celtics.

Tandem Vet Care will host its first anniversary celebration on Saturday, Sept. 26, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at its clinic at 116 Beacon St. The event will include the announcement of a partnership with the Celtics along with appearances from members of the organization.

The business told Patch that Celtics Assistant General Manager Dave Lewin is expected to attend the event, while Celtics guard Baylor Scheierman is also among the players expected to make an appearance. Gov. Maura Healey and Somerville Mayor Jake Wilson are also expected to attend.

Along with celebrating its first year in Somerville, Tandem plans to announce an expansion of its veterinary services with a new clinic in Quincy.

Founded in 2023, Tandem operates a combination of in-person, mobile, and virtual veterinary services throughout Greater Boston. Its Beacon Street location serves as the company's full-service hub, offering primary and urgent care along with diagnostics, X-rays, dental care, surgery and other services. Tandem also operates mobile veterinary clinics throughout communities including Cambridge, Boston, Revere and Quincy. The company currently says its mobile clinic visits more than 40 apartment complexes and neighborhoods throughout the region.

Tandem has also centered its business model around upfront pricing and technology intended to reduce administrative work for veterinarians. The company publicly lists prices for many of its services and has developed its own AI-powered software to automate administrative tasks and allow veterinarians to spend more time providing care.

The company says it has already earned more than 10 percent of the pet-owner market in Cambridge and Somerville. Tandem also offers virtual consultations to established patients and allows customers to communicate with its care team through its app.
