The sharks could not believe the sales numbers that Tyson and Miles mentioned when asked. After only selling the product for a little over 17 months, they told the sharks that they had $1,200,000 in sales, which comes out to about 25,000 units of their product. The sales came from their own website and Amazon, although Tyson and Miles told the sharks that they were planning on starting the process of wholesaling too.
The patent pending Shed Defender is a onesie that contains the dog’s hair within the suit to reduce the shedding, while still allowing the dog to shed naturally. Perfect solution to contain dog hair in the house, car, or anywhere you don't want to leave a trail of hair! Spend less time sweeping and vacuuming and more time cuddling!

Kevin O’Leary decided to make an initial offer of $250,000 for a third of the company. Robert Herjavec offered an identical deal to the duo on the stage, copying the initial offer that Kevin had just made. Lori Greiner was the last shark still in on the negotiations and she quickly undercut the offers of Kevin and Robert by offering to do the same deal except for just 28% equity in exchange for a $250,000 investment.
After a quick counteroffer back to Lori, they ultimately agreed to do $250,000 for 25% equity, allowing Miles and Tyson to strike a deal with Lori.
