ACP partnered with Custom Veterinary Services in 2021 with a shared vision of building a scaled, innovation-driven platform capable of serving the needs of the rapidly-expanding pet wellness market. Over the course of the partnership, the Company evolved significantly, prompting its rebrand to CompletePet, a reflection of its expanded capabilities, broader manufacturing footprint and strengthened leadership position in the industry.

"The Company’s success is ultimately a reflection of the talented team that embraced an ambitious growth strategy and executed it exceptionally well,” said ACP Co-Founder and Managing Partner Rob Langley. “Over the course of our five-year investment period, we partnered with management to drive exceptional organic growth at two-to-three times the market rates while investing heavily in the people, processes and infrastructure to scale. The business evolved from a single-facility operation into one of the industry's leading formulation and manufacturing partners, creating substantial value for customers, employees and shareholders alike."

A key milestone in the Company's growth journey was the acquisition of Green Mountain Animal in 2025, which expanded CompletePet's geographic reach, added a second manufacturing facility and created new opportunities to cross-sell products and services across a broader customer base. The combination established CompletePet as the industry's only dual-facility provider and further strengthened its position in an extremely attractive and growing market.

“When we partnered with the Company in 2021, we saw the growth potential of the pet wellness market and the opportunity alongside management to create a leading platform focused on improving the lives and wellness of pets,” said ACP Partner Jack Parks. “CompletePet’s growth from a single 55,000-square-foot facility with just over 125 employees into a diversified platform with more than 350,000 square feet of capacity and over 500 team members is a tremendous accomplishment. That kind of transformation only happens when exceptional people are united around a shared commitment to serving customers and building a great business.”

“When I joined the Company, I was fortunate to inherit a business with a strong culture, loyal customer relationships and an outstanding foundation built by the Martinez Family. ACP proved to be the ideal partner to build on that legacy. Their consistent strategic support, shared belief in our vision and commitment to investing in our people and capabilities enabled us to pursue and achieve our ambitions for the business. Together, we transformed CompletePet into a stronger, more scalable organization while remaining true to the culture and customer focus that have always defined us. I am deeply grateful for ACP’s partnership and look forward to building on that momentum with our new partners,” said Worth Turner, CEO of CompletePet.

Dave Tiley, Sarah Whitney and Andrew Ameen worked alongside Langley and Parks on the CompletePet investment. Houlihan Lokey and BellMark Partners acted as financial advisors to CompletePet and McGuireWoods served as legal counsel to the Company.
