Robert asked for a demonstration, and to see if Casey was interested in eating the food, which he was. Kevin O’Leary was more interested in what the supplements present in the food could do for his own health, and he sampled some of it himself.
The sharks were also skeptical regarding the lack of scientific evidence to support what Cornucopia could do for pets.
Dr. Broderick explained he was seeing a significant decrease in specific health issues at his veterinary practice. Robert was the first to go out because he thought these claims were of the snake oil variety.
Kevin Harrington followed out, citing that the product couldn’t succeed without a patent and without scientific backing.

Barbara Corcoran was the last to go out, stating that she couldn’t invest in something without scientific research.
