Sneh Sharma & Bhupendra Khanal Pay A Heartfelt Tribute To Their Late Dog Mowgli Through Striking Himalayan-Inspired Red Carpet Ensembles
29 May 2026: Bangalore, India – India’s leading natural pet wellness brand, Dogsee Chew, made a milestone 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 celebrated global platforms.
Representing the brand at Cannes were co-founders and devoted pet parents, Sneh Sharma and Bhupendra Khanal, whose impactful red carpet appearance underscored the growing cultural and international relevance of pet wellness. As pets continue to become cherished members of families across the world, conversations around natural nutrition, preventive care, wellness, and conscious pet parenting are increasingly becoming part of mainstream lifestyle and consumer discussions.
Established 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-headquartered company has a presence in more than 30 countries and is trusted by over a million pet parents worldwide for its preservative-free, rawhide-free, and natural pet nutrition products.
What made the Cannes appearance particularly emotional was the founders’ touching 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,” seamlessly brought together emotion, fashion, and Himalayan heritage.
Sneh Sharma wore a custom-designed ensemble by Indian label Duchess Kumari, complemented by 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 meaningful tribute to the dog who inspired the company’s vision.
Speaking about the occasion, 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 more than a red carpet moment. It reflects how far the global pet wellness industry has evolved. Seeing a Himalayan-born Indian brand being recognised on an international stage reinforces the growing significance of conscious pet parenting, natural nutrition, and wellness-driven lifestyles worldwide. Carrying Mowgli’s memory with us made this moment deeply personal and truly unforgettable.”
Dogsee Chew’s presence at Cannes also highlights the broader transformation taking place within the global pet care industry. Once viewed as a niche segment, pet wellness has rapidly evolved into one of the world’s fastest-growing consumer categories, driven by rising awareness around animal health, preventive care, and premium nutrition.
Over the years, Dogsee Chew has expanded its portfolio beyond Himalayan Yak Chews to include 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 establish Himalayan natural nutrition as a global benchmark in pet wellness while building one of the world’s most trusted pet care brands from India.
