The brand began with a simple intention: to bring cleaner, more trustworthy nutrition to pets. While exploring existing options, the founders realized that most pet food relied heavily on processed ingredients and lacked transparency. This gap inspired them to create home-style meals built around what pets actually need, using high-quality meats, vegetables, and functional superfoods.
Cuddle Buds stands for honest ingredients and thoughtful nutrition. Every recipe is made with human-grade components — real meats, whole vegetables, and natural superfoods like turmeric, flaxseed, pumpkin, and carrots. These aren’t just for labels; they genuinely support digestion, immunity, and coat health.
The meals are protein-rich, supporting lean muscle and sustained energy for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. By avoiding preservatives and fillers, Cuddle Buds ensures pets receive food that is both fresh and effective, improving long-term vitality and overall well-being.
The company’s mission is to make fresh, nutritious pet food accessible to every pet parent in India. Better food means healthier weight, stronger immunity, improved digestion, and ultimately, more good years together. Cuddle Buds wants to make choosing better nutrition simple and affordable.
Behind the brand is Anurag Pandey, a legal professional turned entrepreneur and NALSAR University of Law graduate. After working with ICICI Bank and Reliance Nippon Life Insurance, he identified the lack of transparency in pet food and built Cuddle Buds to offer clean, reliable meals. His co-founder Dipanta leads operations and growth, ensuring every product reflects the brand’s commitment to quality and consistency.
Cuddle Buds has already earned trust among pet parents by helping them move away from processed, shelf-stabilized foods. Its standard is simple yet powerful: Would we feed this to our own pets? If the answer isn’t a confident yes, the recipe doesn’t make the cut.
Looking ahead, Cuddle Buds is committed to pushing boundaries in pet nutrition innovation. As demand for healthier, fresher options grows, the brand aims to expand across India, making clean, human-grade meals the new standard for pet care.
