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

"With the Sharks’ support, we can expand our product offerings, reach more customers and continue to revolutionize how we all care for our pets.”

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.
