VetPartners France

What VetPartners France does

VetPartners France is a privately held veterinary clinic group operating as the French subsidiary of the UK-founded VetPartners Group. The entity runs a network of independently-branded veterinary clinics and a flagship referral hospital (CHV Atlantia in Nantes) across multiple French regions, including Brittany, Pays de la Loire, Grand Est, Ile-de-France/Hauts-de-France, Centre/Sud-Est, and Sud-Ouest. Sub-brands such as GSAB, LesVet, Groupe Vétérinaire du Porhoët, Clinique Saint Herbot, Santer'Vet, Clinique de La Clauvade, Clinique du Caramy, Clinique du Micocoulier, Plein Centre, AniHelp, Les Mille Pattes, and Clinique de Plouigneau deliver general practice, specialty, and referral services for companion animals (canine, feline, NAC/exotic), production animals (cattle, sheep), and equines.

The core product is a network-plus-platform model: member clinics retain their local identity and autonomy while accessing centralized support services including accounting and management, HR and quality of work life, group purchasing, communication and marketing, training, client experience, and operational project management. Technology assets are predominantly clinical (MRI, CT, ultrasound, digital radiography, full laboratory) rather than software/AI. Underlying technology also includes a career portal and corporate website infrastructure supporting recruitment and clinic acquisition funnel, with Instagram as the primary social channel.

The business model is professional services revenue: consultations, medical procedures, surgeries, and diagnostic services billed per procedure at each clinic location, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting (i) independent clinic owners considering succession, development, or management delegation as acquisition targets, and (ii) veterinarians and ASV (veterinary assistants) as recruitment candidates across France. The French operation was launched in spring 2020 under veterinarian Vincent Parez and operates under company number 882607450, registered at 5 Jardin d'Eblé, Angers. The parent VetPartners Group, founded by Jo Malone in October 2015, reports 700+ veterinary structures across 8 European countries (UK origin, plus Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Netherlands).
