Dogsee Chew secures $8 million in Series B funding, aims to double production capacity in 12-months

Natural pet treat brand Dogsee Chew has raised $8 million in its Series B funding round, led by Ektha.com, with additional participation from promoters, Shivanssh Holdings, and Poddar Family Office. The funding brings the company’s total capital raised to $22 million to date.

Bhupendra Khanal, Co-Founder & CEO of Dogsee Chew, outlined the company’s strategic plans for utilising the funds, stating, “We have a dual use for this fund. Number one is expanding the current capacity. In the chew’s category, we are already the number one player in terms of production in the world. So, we want to consolidate on that and then take it to higher volumes. We want to double the capacity in the next 12 months,” Khanal stated.

Beyond manufacturing expansion, the company aims to accelerate its global reach. “The other main thing that we needed this fund for is to do a massive global launch in the US, UK, and European markets with Amazon. So, we are targeting a large customer base that we could not have reached directly through the company. Currently, we depend on distributors, so we’re planning to use both the distribution as well as the D2C strategy,” Khanal added.

Khanal also elaborated on what sets Dogsee Chew apart from its competitors in the pet treat industry. “Most of the dog treats are made from by-products of the human food industry or the leather industry. So, technically, they are not healthy for dogs. We started with a chew that is made from 100% milk. Initially, we used yak milk, and later we expanded to yak milk plus cow milk to increase production,” he explained.

According to Khanal, the natural composition of Dogsee Chew’s products has made them a standout choice. “This product is insanely good. It is made with Himalayan milk, absolutely 100% natural, and we don’t use any preservatives or chemicals. It is also very hard, as hard as any dental chew in the industry, making it a perfect dental treat for dogs. Moreover, it contains 60% protein, which is more than any other meat-based treats in the industry. So, we actually gave the world a really good treat that it needed.”
