• ByStartupStory     |    February 21, 2025

Bengaluru-based natural pet treat brand Dogsee Chew has raised $8 million in a Series B funding round led by Ektha.com, with participation from Shivanssh Holdings, Poddar Family Office, and existing promoters. This latest investment brings Dogsee’s total funding to $22 million, following its $6.7 million Series A round in 2022, backed by Mankind Pharma and Sixth Sense Ventures.

Founded in 2015 by Bhupendra Khanal and Sneh Sharma, Dogsee Chew has expanded its presence to over 30 countries, offering 100% vegetarian, natural, and protein-rich dog treats. The brand is best known for its Himalayan yak cheese chews, positioning itself as a premium player in the fast-growing pet food industry.

With the new capital, Dogsee plans to scale its manufacturing capacity by expanding existing factories and constructing a state-of-the-art production facility. Additionally, the company aims to strengthen its global footprint, particularly in the United States and Canada, by establishing distribution hubs to enhance accessibility for retail partners. The startup will also bolster its Amazon Global Selling strategy to accelerate international sales.

“The demand for our human-grade, all-natural chews is skyrocketing,” said Bhupendra Khanal, Co-founder and CEO. “This funding will help us scale production, expand globally, and ensure faster distribution to meet growing consumer needs.” Co-founder and CMO Sneh Sharma echoed this vision, stating, “We are the only company manufacturing yak chews at this scale in the Himalayan hills, and we aim to become the world’s largest Himalayan chew manufacturer while maintaining the highest quality standards.”

Investor Sreenivasa Musani Reddy, Managing Director of Ektha, emphasized Dogsee’s commitment to quality and sustainability, noting that the brand’s expansion strategy will set new benchmarks in the natural pet food industry.

Despite Dogsee’s ambitious global expansion plans, the company reported ₹53.76 crore in revenue in FY24, a decline from ₹98 crore in FY23, with losses remaining flat at ₹27.73 crore. However, the startup remains confident that the premiumization of the pet food industry will fuel demand, helping Dogsee strengthen its market leadership against competitors like Captain Zack and Fidele Dog Food.
