Algire Group

What Algire Group does

Algire Group, operating under the trade name Livewell Animal Hospital, runs a multi-location companion animal veterinary care network in the United States. The company provides full-service veterinary medicine — wellness and preventive care, diagnostics, advanced care, surgical procedures (including laser and laparoscopic surgery), urgent care, dental services, boarding, and daycare — for dogs, cats, and selectively for exotic pets and large animals. Livewell is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama and operates at least eight physical hospital locations across Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, North Carolina, and additional states, accepting walk-ins and same-day appointments with online booking. An affiliation with SVP is referenced through the privacy policy and contact domain ([email protected], SVP California, P.C.), though the corporate relationship is not formally detailed.

The business is built around fee-for-service veterinary medicine at the point of care, augmented by subscription-based annual wellness plans, on-site pharmacy, prescription delivery via Vetco, and a stack of financing (CareCredit, Scratchpay) and pet insurance referral partners (Trupanion, ASPCA, Nationwide, PetPlan, Pawlicy Advisor). Distribution is direct-to-consumer through physical hospital locations and a self-serve online booking channel; mobile farm calls extend the model into the equine and livestock segment. The technology footprint is equipment-led (digital radiology, ultrasound, CT, MRI, surgical laser, laparoscopy, therapeutic laser) rather than software-led, with no disclosed AI, data, or platform capabilities. Algire Group was founded in 2023 and is privately held, with no public funding history, revenue disclosure, or M&A activity in the provided data.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• VCA Animal Hospitals: Owned by Mars Veterinary Health, VCA operates the largest network of general practice and specialty veterinary hospitals in the US — directly comparable to Livewell's full-service, multi-location hospital model, but at radically greater scale.
• National Veterinary Associates (NVA): One of the largest PE-backed veterinary consolidators with hundreds of GP and specialty hospitals. A direct competitor for de novo growth and acquisition opportunities in the same fragmented US veterinary market Livewell targets.
• PetIQ (now Covetrus/IndyVet parent): Operator of community veterinary clinics and pet wellness centers across the US. Comparable to Livewell's preventive-care-led, multi-site model with emphasis on accessible price points.
• PetVet Care Centers: PE-backed multi-specialty and GP veterinary hospital network. Directly comparable to Livewell's mix of primary care plus advanced surgery, imaging, and specialty services across multiple states.
• Banfield Pet Hospital: Mars-owned GP veterinary chain with more than 1,000 in-store hospitals. Closest scale parallel to Livewell's GP-led, multi-site convenience model, including wellness plan products that compete head-to-head with Livewell's subscription offering.
• BluePearl Pet Hospital: Mars-owned specialty and emergency veterinary hospital network. Comparable to Livewell's advanced care, surgical, and imaging capabilities (CT, MRI, laparoscopy) but operating at specialty/ER scale rather than primary care.

Emerging players

• Modern Animal: Tech-enabled, membership-based veterinary clinic concept. Comparable to Livewell's subscription wellness plan approach and modern brand positioning, but with an earlier-stage footprint.
• Bond Vet: Venture-backed modern veterinary clinic brand emphasizing design, technology, and convenience — directly comparable to Livewell's hospitality-and-tech-forward positioning, though currently concentrated in the Northeast US.
• Heartland Veterinary Partners: PE-backed veterinary hospital group building a multi-state network of GP clinics. Directly comparable to Livewell's growth-stage, multi-state hospital platform strategy.

Regional players

• VetStrategy: Canadian veterinary hospital network with expanding US presence. Comparable multi-site, full-service operating model to Livewell, though primarily serving Canadian markets today.
