Pet care startup Scooby's Club has raised $250,000 in a pre-seed funding round led by TDV Partners.
The Bengaluru-based company will use the capital to open two new properties in Bengaluru over the next six to 12 months.
Part of the funds will also be used to hire and train canine coaches for its daycare, hotel, and spa offerings.
Every dog undergoes temperament testing and is grouped by size to support safer socialisation before entering its shared indoor spaces.
The startup provides fully indoor, climate-controlled facilities featuring sound, scent, and colour elements designed for mental enrichment.
The company offers 24x7 CCTV access to pet parents alongside allergen-sensitive care and freshly cooked meals.

The funding highlights growing investor interest in India's organised pet care segment amid changing urban lifestyles and rising pet adoption.
The founders launched the startup to bridge the gap in dependable, high-standard everyday pet care options in residential neighbourhoods.
The company aims to build a long-term network of 100 properties across major Indian cities.

Scooby's Club operates a network of premium dog care hubs located directly within residential neighbourhoods.
The company provides services including daycare, overnight hotel stays, spa and grooming, puppy preschool, and behaviour training.
It operates on a free-roam model where dogs move freely in supervised indoor spaces rather than being kept in cages.
The business makes money by charging pet parents for short-term daycare, overnight stays, grooming sessions, and training programmes.
For new dogs, the company requires up-to-date vaccination records, a tick and flea check, and a mandatory temperament assessment.
