About Dogsee Chew
Dogsee Chew, operating under the parent company Khanal Foods Pvt. Ltd., is a pet care brand from India that has established a significant presence in the global market, exporting to over 30 countries. The company was founded in 2015 by Bhupendra Khanal, with Sneh Sharma later joining as a co-founder. Khanal, an engineering graduate from Bangalore Institute of Technology with an MBA from Christ University, brings a decade of experience from the IT services industry, having worked on projects for major global brands before venturing into entrepreneurship. The inspiration for Dogsee Chew came from a personal experience during a trek in the Himalayas, where Khanal observed local dogs chewing on Churpi, a hardened milk snack. This observation, coupled with his dogs' positive reaction to the snack, sparked the idea to create a healthy and natural alternative to the prevalent rawhide dog chews in the market.

The company's core business revolves around manufacturing and selling natural pet products, with a primary focus on dog treats. Its flagship product is the hardened cheese dental treat, branded as Dogsee Chew Hard Bars, which are sourced from the Himalayas. These bars are crafted from hardened cow and yak milk using a traditional smoking and sun-drying process, making them a long-lasting, protein-rich, and low-fat dental treat. This product line directly addresses the demand from pet owners for healthier, chemical-free alternatives to processed pet foods and treats. Dogsee Chew targets health-conscious pet parents globally, positioning itself as a premium, nature-inspired brand. The business model involves both direct-to-consumer sales through its website and major e-commerce platforms like Amazon, as well as a strong B2B component, distributing its products through a network of pet stores and retailers across India, Europe, the USA, and Asia.
Beyond its signature cheese chews, Dogsee Chew has expanded its product portfolio to include a variety of other natural treats like cookies, puffies, and crunchies, all made from natural ingredients such as coconuts, apples, and bananas without any added grains, gluten, or preservatives. The company emphasizes sustainability in its operations, claiming to be a carbon-negative brand. This commitment is reflected in their sourcing practices, which support Himalayan farmers by procuring milk at a fair price. Financially, the company has demonstrated significant growth, securing a $6.7 million Series A funding round led by Mankind Pharma in 2021, followed by a $13 million infusion in a pre-Series B round. This capital has been aimed at expanding its product line, increasing manufacturing capacity, and strengthening its marketing and distribution channels both domestically and internationally.
