Health-Focused Pet Food Brand Muttley Crew Secures $425,000 in Seed Round to Grow Footprint Across India

Muttley Crew, a Bangalore-based premium, health-focused pet food brand, announced the successful raise of its seed funding round, raising $425,000. The round saw participation from a group of private investors, reflecting strong confidence in Muttley Crew’s vision, product innovation, and growth potential in India’s rapidly expanding pet care market.

The funds will be used to scale operations, expand retail presence across India and enhance product development, enabling Muttley Crew to make high-quality, natural, and preservative-free pet nutrition more accessible to pet parents nationwide.

“This funding is more than a financial milestone - it validates our belief that pets deserve the same quality and care in their food as humans do. At Muttley Crew, we have proven that premium, all-natural, preservative-free treats made with human-grade ingredients can be delivered with transparency, taste, and convenience. With the support of our investors and the strength of our team, we are ready to expand our footprint to more than 100 locations by the next quarter and redefine pet nutrition across India,” said Smriti Thomas, Founder & CEO of Muttley Crew.

Founded by Smriti Thomas, Muttley Crew has already carved a niche for itself in Bangalore’s growing pet care market; catering to pet parents who prioritize clean, safe and healthy food options. The brand collaborates with veterinarians and pet nutritionists to craft its product range, ensuring both taste and nutritional value.

Its product portfolio includes innovative treat boxes, designed to make healthy snacking fun and convenient for pets. The brand has also partnered with Bangalore cafes to co-create premium, pet-friendly offerings. Muttley Crew is being featured in the Canine 9 Edu Pet Guide, India’s first natural canine nutrition guide.

Currently Muttley Crew is present in 20 outlets across Bangalore and has also entered new cities such as Mysore, Hyderabad, Goa, and Kochi.
