Bengaluru, May 18 : Dogsee Chew made a historic debut at the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival on 16th May 2026, becoming one of the first Indian pet wellness brands to represent the industry at one of the most influential global stages in the world.
The brand was presented at Cannes by co-founders and pet parents Sneh Sharma and Bhupendra Khanal, whose red carpet appearance underscored the growing cultural and commercial importance of pet wellness globally. As pets become more and more integrated into the family, conversations around natural nutrition, wellness and mindful pet parenting are rapidly moving into mainstream consumer and lifestyle spaces.
Founded in 2015, Dogsee pioneered the Himalayan yak chew category globally by introducing 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.
The Cannes appearance carried a deeply personal emotion for the founders through a special theme titled “An Ode to Mowgli,” dedicated to their late dog and the inspiration behind the brand’s journey.
Sneh Sharma wore a custom ensemble by Duchess Kumari Label paired with jewellery from Kushal Fashion Jewellery. Her outfit featured a Himalayan-inspired weave along the hem symbolising Dogsee’s roots, while the corset carried an embroidered motif of Mowgli. Bhupendra Khanal wore a custom suit by Twamev with Mowgli’s motif embroidered on the left chest as a tribute to the dog who inspired the company’s vision.
“For us, this moment is much bigger than a brand milestone. Walking the Cannes red carpet represents the growing importance of pet wellness in global conversations around health, lifestyle, and conscious living. Bringing a Himalayan-born brand to Cannes while carrying Mowgli’s memory with us makes this incredibly personal and special,” said Bhupendra Khanal and Sneh Sharma, Co-founders, Dogsee Chew.
Dogsee’s presence at Cannes highlights the larger transformation taking place across the global pet industry. Once considered a niche category, pet wellness has emerged as one of the fastest-growing consumer sectors worldwide, driven by increasing awareness around animal health, preventive care, and premium nutrition.
Over the years, Dogsee has expanded its portfolio beyond Himalayan Yak Chews into dental chews, training treats, puffed snacks, functional variants, and wellness supplements under the Dogsee Activet Plus+ range. As the company continues to strengthen its footprint across India, the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific, it 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 the Himalayas.
