Barkem’s To Go is a company that offers pre-packaged meals for dogs on the go. The product consists of a container with three compartments: one for dry food, one for vitamin-enhanced water, and one for a treat. The idea is to provide convenience and nutrition for pet owners who travel with their dogs or need a quick meal solution.
The company was founded by Blake St. Clair, who pitched his product on Shark Tank Season 3 in 2023. He asked for $100,000 for 51% equity in his company, but he failed to impress the Sharks. They questioned the market potential, the cost of manufacturing, and the patentability of his product. None of the Sharks made an offer, and Blake left the tank empty-handed.
So what happened to Barkem’s To Go after Shark Tank?
According to some online sources , the company is no longer in business as of 2020. It seems that Blake was unable to find a partner or a distributor for his product, and he eventually gave up on his venture. The company’s website and social media accounts are no longer active, and the product is not available for purchase anywhere.
It’s unfortunate that Barkem’s To Go did not succeed, as it was a novel and innovative concept that could have solved a problem for many dog owners. However, it also faced many challenges, such as competition from other pet food brands, high production costs, and low consumer demand. Perhaps Barkem’s To Go was ahead of its time, or maybe it was just not a viable business idea.
Whatever the case may be, we hope that Blake St. Clair and his dog Rummy are doing well and have moved on to other endeavors. We also hope that they still enjoy traveling together and finding ways to feed Rummy on the go.
