It is great to see innovative dog brands secure investments from the sharks! Recently, a company called “Mella Pet Care” secured an investment from Mark Cuban. The company which specializes in pet health products and digital monitoring solutions is here to change how we diagnose and care for our fur babies!
The Chicago-based, women-led startup seeks to empower pet owners to understand how their pets are feeling with an ecosystem of health monitoring solutions. Trusted by both veterinarians and pet parents, their solutions include the first-ever accurate axillary thermometer, a body fat analyzer, a chip reader, pulse ox, and more. By tracking their pets’ vitals in the Mella Health App, pet parents can access comprehensive insights into pets’ health, enabling proactive care and early detection of potential issues.
“I am excited to partner with Mella Pet Care and support their mission of improving the lives of pets and pet owners,” Cuban said. “Their innovative product line aligns perfectly with the evolving needs of today’s pet-centric society. Together, we will disrupt the pet care industry and bring forth solutions that empower pet owners and enhance the well-being of our beloved four-legged friends.” – Mark Cuban
Studies have found that Mella’s underarm thermometers reduce procedure time and the need for stressful restraints during visits to the vet. Mella has also won 14 industry awards including the 2021 Purina Pet Care Innovation Prize and Mars’ 2022 Leap Venture Studio accelerator. To learn more, visit www.mella.ai
