Brooke and James brought their dog monitoring system, iPooch to the tank. Their system allows owners to check in on their dogs remotely through their smart phone, which in turn helps to ease loneliness for their pet. They can even dispense through the company’s free app.
The company sells its product for $149.00, while it costs $60.00 to manufacture a single unit. In their first 2 months in business and prior to filming, they had sold just 100 units.
