I had an exceptional experience with my new kitten, it exceeded my expectations. We previously worked with Jake at our cat kennel and had a very positive outcome. He possesses great skills, particularly in emergency situations involving orthopedics. Every visit from him results in me acquiring new knowledge and techniques. I am now planning to transfer my older pet's care to him as well. Thank you!!

Dr. Jake came to our rescue after a less than ideal visit to a local vet in Cambridge. He was able to see Lola, assuage my worries and was great with her. We are so glad to have found a wonderful vet after our cross-country move.

I reached out to Dr. Jake after a less-than-optimal visit to a local Cambridge vet. He was able to see us quickly, and came to us! He was fantastic taking care of my dog, Lola, and was able to assuage some fears I had leftover from the former vet visit. He explained what he was doing, what was normal, and what wasn't at every step. We are so glad to have found our vet, and would highly recommend Dr. Jake!

When my cat, Mowgli, was sick, I called Dr. Tedaldi's office on a Sunday and spoke to the receptionist. He personally called me back that night and was able to come to my place to see my cat the next day. During the exam he was extremely kind, informative, and most importantly, compassionate. He explained everything he was doing, and explained his diagnosis in detail. After the exam, he has been texting me to keep updated on my cat's condition.
He's been very compassionate about Mowgli's health, and has answered every question I've thrown at him via text or call (and I have asked him a ton of questions). While the diagnosis for my cat, Mowgli, was unfortunate and has caused a lot of emotional pain and stress, I'm glad Dr. "Jake" Tedaldi was the one to deliver him care. His quick replies, informative responses, and compassion have made this situation much easier to go through.
Whether you want a mobile vet that comes to you, or a vet that you take your loved pet to, I would highly recommend Dr. Tedaldi. It's clear he chose this profession because of his love for animals, and he goes above and beyond in making sure they are well!
