L to R_Utsav Bisaria, Co-Founder, Dr. Doodley and Yash Jayprakash Ladda, Co-Founder, Dr. Doodley.Bengaluru-based pet healthcare startup Dr. Doodley has raised $3.3 million (₹30 crore) in a pre-series A funding round to scale its hospital-backed veterinary-at-home and 24/7 pet hospital model.
The round comprised ₹20 crore in equity and ₹10 crore in debt, with the equity portion led by early-stage venture firm V3 Ventures.
Existing and new investors including Campus Fund and the Thackersey Family Office also participated in the round.
“We are the pioneer and market leader of vet-at-home service in Bengaluru. With our approach of sending an experienced doctor along with an assistant and all medicines to homes of pet parents, we have treated more than 30,000 pets in the last year. I am excited to see how our 30-minute vet-at-home model will eliminate the need to visit clinics,” said Utsav Bisaria, Co-Founder, Dr. Doodley.
The fundraise also witnessed backing from angel investors Yatin Shah and Karan Bhagat, founders of 360 ONE Wealth, and Gautam Dalmia, managing director of Dalmia Bharat Group.
Founded in 2023 by Utsav Bisaria and Yash Jayprakash Ladda, Dr. Doodley is building an organised veterinary care platform focused on improving accessibility in pet healthcare.
The startup operates a hybrid model that combines 24/7 multispecialty pet hospitals with veterinary services delivered at home.
Over the next 12 months, Dr. Doodley plans to expand its physical footprint from three hospitals to seven by opening four new 24/7 facilities in Bengaluru.
Arjun Vaidya, Co-founder and Managing Partner of V3 Ventures, added, “I think they are building something unique. The business stands out because it is focused squarely on healthcare, not grooming or retail. This allows them to achieve the highest revenue throughput per clinic, with speed, the right price, and operational excellence.”
It also plans to launch a ‘vet-at-home in 30 minutes’ service, introduce flat ₹10,000 pricing for all surgeries, and expand to other Tier I cities later this year.
The company also aims to treat over 100,000 pets during this period and grow its veterinary workforce to more than 100 doctors.
