PDX-Pet-Design-Shark-Tank-US-Net-worth-Update

PDX Pet Design is a smart grooming product line for cats. This was started by Tara and Jason O’Mara in 2014. PDX Pet Design’s net worth was $2 million at the time of their pitch in 2017 based on the $300,000 offer for 15% of the equity of the company. 

They appeared on Season 08 of Shark Tank USA in 2017. But the Sharks were not interested in investing in PDX Pet Design.

Even though Tara and Jason had to leave the show without securing a deal for PDX Pet Design, they successfully continued their business. PDX Pet Designs had significant growth since its appearance on the show. The company was an actively running business until 2021. However, there is no precise information regarding the company’s current status. PDX Pet Design no longer has a functioning website. The Facebook and Instagram handles are still up but have not been updated since January 2022. It appears to be that PDX Pet Design is no longer in the market.

Conclusion

Some companies that appear on the show have not achieved great success, and the PDX Pet Design was one of them. Sometimes businesses don’t succeed because of many reasons. Sometimes, the deal falls through after the founders say yes on camera. Or, as you’ll see, sometimes things happen to the founders themselves, and they choose to abandon the business. Anything is possible. However,  PDX Pet Design went out of business in 2021. And the product is no longer available in the market.
