On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 90% of 10 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.9/10.[9]
Saibal Chatterjee writing for NDTV gave a rating of 3/5, and added, "Watch the film if you love dogs and especially if you don't."[10] Sana Farzeen, writing for India Today gave it 3/5 stars and added "For animal lovers, especially dog people, there are enough moments to leave you teary-eyed one minute and smiling the next."[11] Renuka Vyavahare writing for The Times of India rated it at 3/5 and remarked, "You don't need to be a dog parent or even a pet lover to empathise with animals. Compassion and kindness are universal. That's what makes Ohh My Dog a film made for everyone, even if it doesn't fully realise the potential of its heartfelt premise."[12]
Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India writes that "It is Cute in parts, but almost a ruff day".[13] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in said that "Ohh My Dog spells out every move that proves how a kid can make instant sense of a complex kidnapping operation and how a dog can sniff out the truth about its owner entirely by itself."[14] Bollywood Hungama gave it 3 stars out of 5 and said that "OHH MY DOG is an endearing and unusual entertainer that scores with its adorable canine hero, engaging performances and several thrilling, clapworthy moments."[15]
