Bengaluru based pet healthcare startup Dr. Doodley has secured ₹30 crore in pre Series A funding to accelerate the rollout of its hospital network and deepen clinical capabilities as demand for organised veterinary care rises in urban India. The round includes ₹20 crore in equity and ₹10 crore in debt. Equity investment was led by V3 Ventures, with participation from Campus Fund and the Thackersey Family Office. The round also saw backing from angel investors Yatin Shah and Karan Bhagat of 360 ONE Wealth, along with Gautam Dalmia, managing director of Dalmia Bharat Group.
Founded in 2023 by Utsav Bisaria and Yash Jayprakash Ladda, Dr. Doodley operates a hybrid care model that combines vet at home services with round the clock multispecialty hospitals. The company currently runs three facilities in Bengaluru at Jayanagar, Yelahanka and Whitefield, supported by a team of about 35 veterinarians. Its hospitals offer diagnostics such as X ray, ultrasound and blood tests, along with surgery and inpatient care backed by continuous monitoring. Clinical protocols are standardised across centres, with specialist access in surgery, gynaecology and internal medicine.
The fresh capital will be used to expand hospital capacity and prepare for entry into new markets. Over the next year, Dr. Doodley plans to open four more hospitals in Bellandur, Indiranagar, Rajajinagar and North Bengaluru, taking the network to seven facilities. The company aims to treat more than 100,000 pets during this period and grow its veterinary team to over 100 doctors.
The startup also plans to introduce 30 minute vet at home services and roll out a flat ₹10,000 surgery pricing model across procedures. Over the past year, Dr. Doodley said it handled more than 30,000 pet consultations and performed over 1,000 surgeries. The company operates in a fast growing pet care market alongside organised players such as Wiggles, Supertails, Vetic and Petzzco.
