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.

The Hp printer mac address is a unique hardware identifier used to establish secure and reliable network connections. This alphanumeric code, typically composed of 12 characters separated by colons (e.g., 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E), ensures the printer’s identity on a local network. Found on a label attached to the printer or accessible via the printer's settings menu, the MAC address is critical for network troubleshooting, configuring wireless connections, and enabling device-specific permissions. It prevents network conflicts by uniquely distinguishing your HP printer from other devices. This feature is vital for seamless integration within both home and business networking environments.
