About Canine India
Canine India is built on the idea that a dog's food should look a lot more like actual food. Founded in 2018 by certified pet-food nutritionist Julia Pape near Chennai, the brand makes minimally processed, species-appropriate meals as an alternative to heavily processed kibble. It caters to a growing set of pet parents who have started scrutinising their dog's bowl with the same attention they give their own plate.
