Pet healthcare startup Dr. Doodley has raised $3.3 million (Rs 30 crore) in a pre-Series A funding round. The round includes Rs 20 crore in equity and Rs 10 crore in debt, with the equity round led by V3 Ventures.
Other participants in the round include Campus Fund and Thackersey Family Office, along with angel investors such as 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 operates a combined model of vet-at-home services and 24/7 multispecialty pet hospitals. The firm currently runs three hospitals in Bengaluru located in Jayanagar, Yelahanka, and Whitefield, and works with a team of around 35 veterinarians.
Over the next 12 months, Dr. Doodley plans to expand to seven hospitals by opening four new facilities in Bellandur, Indiranagar, Rajajinagar, and North Bengaluru. During this period, the startup aims to treat more than 1,00,000 pets and increase its veterinary team to over 100 doctors.
It also plans to launch 30-minute vet-at-home services and introduce a flat Rs 10,000 pricing model for surgeries across procedures. Dr. Doodley claims to have treated over 30,000 pets and conducted more than 1,000 surgeries in the past year.
