Bengaluru: India’s leading natural pet wellness
brand, Dogsee Chew, made a landmark debut at the 79th edition of the Cannes
Film Festival on May 16, 2026, becoming one of the first Indian pet wellness
brands to represent the industry on one of the world’s most prestigious global
platforms.
Representing the brand at Cannes were co-founders
and pet parents Sneh Sharma and Bhupendra Khanal, whose powerful red carpet
appearance highlighted the growing cultural and global significance of pet
wellness. As pets increasingly become integral members of families worldwide,
conversations around natural nutrition, preventive care, wellness, and mindful
pet parenting are rapidly entering mainstream lifestyle and consumer spaces.
Founded in 2015, Dogsee Chew pioneered the
Himalayan yak chew category globally with its natural Chhurpi-based dog treats
sourced from the Himalayas. Today, the Bengaluru-based company is present in
over 30 countries and trusted by more than a million pet parents worldwide for
its preservative-free, rawhide-free, and natural pet nutrition offerings.
What made the Cannes appearance especially
emotional was the founders’ heartfelt tribute to their late dog, Mowgli — the
inspiration behind Dogsee Chew’s journey. The theme of their red carpet
appearance, titled “An Ode To Mowgli,” beautifully blended emotion, fashion,
and Himalayan heritage.
Sneh Sharma wore a custom ensemble by Indian label
Duchess Kumari, paired with jewellery from Kushal Fashion Jewellery. Her outfit
featured intricate Himalayan-inspired detailing along the hem symbolising the
brand’s roots, while the corset carried an embroidered motif of Mowgli.
Bhupendra Khanal wore a custom suit by Twamev featuring Mowgli’s embroidered
motif on the left chest — a subtle yet deeply emotional tribute to the dog who
inspired the company’s vision.
Speaking about the moment, Sneh Sharma, Co-founder,
Dogsee Chew, said, “Walking the Cannes red carpet was an incredibly emotional
and proud moment for us. Mowgli was not just our pet, but the soul behind
Dogsee’s journey. Through this tribute, we wanted to celebrate the
unconditional love pets bring into our lives while also representing India, the
Himalayas, and the growing global conversation around pet wellness on such an
iconic platform.”
Bhupendra Khanal, Co-founder, Dogsee Chew, added,
“For us, Cannes is much bigger than a red carpet moment. It represents how far
the pet wellness industry has evolved globally. Seeing a Himalayan-born Indian
brand being recognised on an international stage reinforces the growing
importance of conscious pet parenting, natural nutrition, and wellness-led
lifestyles worldwide. Carrying Mowgli’s memory with us made this moment deeply
personal and unforgettable.”
Dogsee Chew’s presence at Cannes also reflects the
larger transformation taking place within the global pet care industry. Once
considered a niche segment, pet wellness has rapidly emerged as one of the
world’s fastest-growing consumer categories, driven by increasing awareness
around animal health, preventive care, and premium nutrition.
Over the years, Dogsee Chew has expanded its
portfolio beyond Himalayan Yak Chews into dental chews, training treats, puffed
snacks, functional variants, and wellness supplements under its Dogsee Activet
Plus+ range. As the company continues to strengthen its presence across India,
the US, Canada, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, Dogsee Chew aims to
position Himalayan natural nutrition as a global benchmark in pet wellness
while building one of the world’s most trusted pet care brands from India.
