What VPLUS does

VPLUS is a French veterinary clinic network founded in 2014 and headquartered in Étauliers, operating 29 clinic sites across the Nouvelle Aquitaine and Île-de-France regions. The company employs 139 veterinarians and 177 Auxiliaires Spécialisées Vétérinaires (veterinary assistants), plus 13 central support staff, delivering general practice services (consultations, preventive medicine, surgery, dentistry, hospitalization, laboratory analysis) alongside specialist referral services in cardiology, ophthalmology, dermatology, orthopedics, and internal medicine. Its service model is anchored by a distinctive 100% veterinarian-owned capital structure that preserves clinical independence, and by a central shared-services entity (VPLUS Services) providing HR, finance, communication, and development functions to member clinics. The network also extends into equine and farm animal veterinary care at select sites, and operates 24/7 emergency services at designated referral centers.

The underlying technology stack comprises standard veterinary medical equipment including digital radiography, ultrasound, CT scanners, gas anaesthesia machines, and laboratory analysers, supplemented by digital appointment booking integrations with Vetstoria, CaptainVet, and PlanningVeto, plus online product ordering via VetoAvenue, Chronovet, and MyVetShop. VPLUS has adopted the ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic accreditations (Gold and Silver grades) and the CapDouleur pain management label, and binds member clinics to a Charte Qualité VPLUS covering preventive medicine, facilities, and client relations. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software platform, or public API is referenced.

VPLUS generates revenue through professional service fees billed per consultation, surgical procedure, imaging study, and hospitalisation episode; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is regional and field-driven: clinics are added selectively within adjacent geographic basins, growth is measured to preserve the veterinarian-owned model, and customer acquisition relies on the corporate website, clinic-specific social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), and external veterinarian referrals into specialist poles. Partnerships with Kaléïdo (management training since 2011), AG2R La Mondiale (social protection), APFORM (ASV training), and INTERFIMO (veterinary finance) support operational and human-capital functions but are not revenue-generating.
