Bengaluru, June 18, 2026 — Indian pet healthcare startup Vetic has raised US$40 million in a fresh funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with continued participation from existing investors Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom, and the JSW Family Office, marking one of the largest investments in India’s rapidly expanding companion animal healthcare sector this year. The company plans to use the capital to accelerate nationwide expansion of its integrated veterinary care platform, strengthen technology capabilities and broaden access to preventive and specialized pet healthcare.
Founded in 2022, Vetic has rapidly built an omnichannel veterinary healthcare ecosystem combining physical clinics, home veterinary services, diagnostics, pharmacy, grooming and pet insurance under a single platform. The company currently operates more than 65 veterinary centres across 11 Indian cities, providing comprehensive medical services for companion animals through both clinic-based and digital channels.
India’s Companion Animal Market Enters High-Growth Phase
The funding reflects growing investor confidence in India’s pet care industry, which has witnessed sustained double-digit growth over the past decade. Rising disposable incomes, increasing urbanization and greater awareness of preventive veterinary medicine have significantly expanded demand for professional pet healthcare services.
Industry estimates suggest India is now home to more than 35 million companion animals, including approximately 30–35 million pet dogs and 4–5 million pet cats. The broader Indian pet care market is estimated at US$3–3.5 billion, while the veterinary healthcare segment continues to outpace overall market growth as owners increasingly seek advanced diagnostics, surgery, specialty care and wellness programmes.
Vetic’s integrated healthcare model mirrors trends seen in mature markets such as the United States and Europe, where digital platforms increasingly combine veterinary consultations, pharmacy, diagnostics, insurance and wellness programmes within a single customer ecosystem.
Expanding Beyond Traditional Veterinary Clinics
Unlike conventional veterinary practices, Vetic has positioned itself as a full-service pet healthcare provider. Its platform offers:
-
Preventive healthcare programmes
-
Vaccination and wellness services
-
Diagnostic laboratories
-
Pharmacy and home medicine delivery
-
Emergency veterinary care
-
Home veterinary visits
-
Surgical services
-
Pet insurance integration
The company expects the new funding to support expansion into additional Tier I and Tier II Indian cities while investing further in digital health technologies and operational infrastructure.
Investors Back Long-Term Structural Growth
The investment comes amid increasing venture capital activity in companion animal healthcare globally. Digital veterinary platforms have attracted substantial investor interest as pet owners increasingly demand healthcare experiences comparable to those available in human medicine.
Globally, veterinary technology investments are concentrating on:
-
Digital medical records
-
Telemedicine
-
Artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostics
-
Preventive care
-
Subscription-based wellness plans
-
Connected pharmacy services
-
Pet insurance
As India’s pet ownership continues to rise, investors view integrated healthcare platforms such as Vetic as well positioned to capture long-term growth in one of Asia’s fastest-expanding companion animal markets.
