Argos Vétérinaire secures more than €100 million in new financing to accelerate its development
Argos Vétérinaire, one of France’s leading independent veterinary care groups, has announced the closing of a new financing round of over €100 million with Adams Street Partners to support its continued expansion. This new funding will help Argos strengthen its nationwide network of clinics through strategic acquisitions and further develop its unique cluster-based model across the country.
Argos Vétérinaire was founded in 2014 with a dual mission: to provide the highest quality veterinary care through a network of local generalist clinics, and to enable veterinarians to thrive in their profession. To achieve these goals, the group developed a structured model based on geographic clusters of veterinary clinics in many major French cities. This cluster approach allows each clinic to benefit from shared resources and expertise within its region while maintaining close ties to the local community.
Since G Square Healthcare Private Equity became Argos Vétérinaire’s majority shareholder in 2019, the group has significantly expanded its network under the guidance of a strong management team. Led by Dr. Emeric Lemarignier (veterinarian, co-founder), alongside co-founder and CEO Guillaume Vicaire and CFO Thomas Richer, Argos Vétérinaire has acquired over 100 clinics to date, establishing regional clusters in cities such as Bordeaux, Paris, Grenoble, Lyon, Reims, and Marseille, among others.
With 110 clinics currently in operation, Argos now aims to grow to over 200 clinics in the coming years. Throughout this growth, the group remains fully committed to its strategic focus on clinical quality, local presence, veterinarian development, and operational excellence.
A key pillar of Argos Vétérinaire’s growth strategy is its selective acquisition program. The company seeks to partner with high-quality veterinary practices that share its values of medical excellence and community-centered care. By integrating new clinics into Argos’s cluster model, each practice maintains its local identity and autonomy while benefiting from the group’s centralized support, training, and operational resources. This approach ensures that high-quality care continues to be delivered locally, by teams that know their communities best.
“This financing demonstrates the strength of our group and reflects the confidence of our partners in our veterinary model – one that is local, human-centered, committed, and sustainable. Our ambition is simple: to be the best everyday partner for pets, their families, and their veterinarians,” said Guillaume Vicaire, CEO of Argos Vétérinaire.
Renaud Dessertenne, Partner at G Square Healthcare Private Equity, commented: “As long-term investors in European healthcare and services, G Square will continue to support Argos Vétérinaire’s robust growth in the coming years. We are delighted to partner with Adams Street Partners for this new phase of growth.”
James Charalambides, Partner at Adams Street Partners, added: “We are proud to support Argos Vétérinaire in the next phase of its development. We are excited to back a team that puts care, people, and sustainability at the core of its strategy.”
