Dr. Paws, a Bengaluru-based veterinary clinic chain, has successfully raised Rs 7.8 crore in a seed funding round. The investment was led by Sauce.vc, with participation from a group of prominent angel investors. This round highlights the growing interest in the pet care industry in India.


Founded by Udit Gadkary and Yash Dhar, Dr. Paws focuses on offering a network of modern veterinary clinics that cater to the needs of pet parents. The company aims to use the fresh capital to expand its footprint across India, enhance its service offerings, and strengthen its team.


The veterinary chain currently operates in key metropolitan cities, offering specialized services such as wellness care, diagnostics, surgeries, and telemedicine consultations. With the funding in place, Dr. Paws plans to grow its presence both online and offline, ensuring that pet care becomes more accessible and comprehensive for all pet owners.

The Rs 7.8 crore raised will be primarily used to scale Dr. Paws' operations and strengthen its digital infrastructure. A significant portion of the funds will go towards expanding the company's geographical footprint, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where access to quality pet healthcare services remains limited.


Leading the investment, Sauce.vc is a known backer of consumer brands, and its participation signals confidence in the long-term potential of the veterinary and pet care sector. Other angel investors include a mix of seasoned entrepreneurs and professionals with a passion for pets.


The seed funding marks a crucial milestone in Dr. Paws' journey, as the company is now well-positioned to take its offerings to a larger audience across India. With the pet care market expanding rapidly and pet ownership on the rise, Dr. Paws is poised to be at the forefront of this industry, providing solutions that prioritize pet health and well-being.
