Mella Pet Care to appear on ABC’s “Shark Tank” on March 1st with connected pet wellness ecosystem

Updated: Feb 22




[Chicago, IL, February 21, 2024] – Mella Pet Care, a leading provider of innovative pet health devices, will be featured on Season 15 of the hit ABC show “Shark Tank” on Friday, March 1, 2024, 8pm ET. 


The Chicago-based company developed the Mella Home, the world’s first accurate, pain-free underarm thermometer, to prioritize pets’ health and comfort.


CEO/Co-Founder Anya Babbitt, COO/Co-Founder Ben Seidman and Chief of Staff Daniella Morgan-Pascualvaca will pitch the Sharks on Mella’s ecosystem of health monitoring solutions for veterinarians and pet owners. 


"We’re thrilled to introduce the ‘Shark Tank’ investors and a national TV audience to our vision for pet care," said Anya Babbitt, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of Mella Pet Care. "With the Sharks’ support, we can expand our product offerings, reach more customers and continue to revolutionize how we all care for our pets.”


Babbitt founded the company in 2019 after her rescue dog, Mella, nearly died as a puppy due to a lack of data to diagnose and prevent her health condition. With the noninvasive axillary thermometer and coming products like a body fat analyzer, chip reader and pulse oximeter, Mella Pet Care enables pet parents to monitor their pets’ vitals and integrate with veterinary care. 


“These are world-class investors with an eye for disruptive technologies,” said Ben Seidman, Chief Operating Officer & Co-Founder of Mella Pet Care. “‘Shark Tank’ is a golden opportunity for us to take another leap forward.”


On Shark Tank, the founding team will make their case for transforming pet care technology to empower pet parents, improve veterinary care, and help pets live longer, happier lives. Investors Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Daymond John and Daniel Lubetzky will appear on the March 1st episode. 

By partnering with the Sharks, Mella hopes to accelerate product development, expand distribution channels, and invest in marketing efforts to raise brand awareness globally.

AI is increasingly important in online education. It provides an equal opportunity to learn for every individual, no matter what background they come from. It also gives them access to quality education regardless of their economic circumstances or any other reasons. There is no doubt that artificial Intelligence in online education has provided many advantages to students. A few of them include flexibility, convenience, personalized support, efficient support and assistance, and better accessibility. AI supports diverse learning needs and is intended to provide the best support for students. However, its main motive is to only help teachers focus on their teaching and cannot replace human teaching methods.

"I am looking for someone to do my math class" is a common request from students seeking assistance with their academic responsibilities. Math programs taken online might be difficult since they need a solid understanding of mathematical ideas, perseverance, and effective time management. Even though it is normal to want help, it is important to remember that academic ethics is the most important thing. You should think approximately trying to find assistance in a way that's less unethical instead of asking somebody else to require the full class on your sake.
