Pet healthcare startup Vetic has raised $40 million in a fresh funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom, and JSW Family Office. The latest funding will be used to expand Vetic’s clinic network, scale its veterinary workforce across in-clinic, at-home, and virtual care services, deepen its insurance and wellness offerings, and invest in technology and AI capabilities. The company also plans to roll out its Vet at Home services nationally over the next two quarters.Founded in 2022 by Gaurav Ajmera, Vetic operates an integrated pet healthcare platform that combines veterinary clinics, emergency care, diagnostics, surgeries, at-home veterinary services, insurance, pharmacy, and pet supplies. Based in Gurugram, the company currently operates more than 65 clinics across 11 cities and 15 emergency care facilities, serving over 60,000 subscribed members through its healthcare platform.Vetic claims to have built a healthcare operating system that maintains longitudinal health records for pets and standardises care protocols across its network. The company has also integrated AI tools for pet parent triaging, veterinary diagnostics support, and personalised care recommendations. According to its financial statements, Vetic’s operating revenue grew 2.5 times to Rs 62.9 crore in FY25 from Rs 25.5 crore in FY24. However, its rapid expansion pushed expenses higher, resulting in a 63% increase in losses to Rs 65.6 crore in FY25 from Rs 40.2 crore in the previous fiscal year.The latest funding comes amid growing investor interest in India’s pet care market, where rising pet ownership and increasing spending on healthcare and wellness services continue to create opportunities for organised players. Other startups in the sector, such as Heads Up For Tails, Supertails, Wiggles, and Dogsee Chew, have also raised capital as the country’s pet care ecosystem expands.
