Get ready to root fur the home team–Minnesota’s own Dog Threads is gonna be on Shark Tank! Dog Threads has been helping pups twin with their people since 2014 in matching Hawaiian shirts, plaid shirts, and the latest (v. Minnesotan) flannel shirts because winter. And the Shark Tank investors have been taking bites outta entrepreneurial businesses since before most of our dogs were born.
The show will air at 8 p.m. CST on Sunday, Nov. 10. It’s already been filmed, but apparently Dog Threads owners Gina and Scott Davis are sworn to ABSOLUTE AND TOTAL SECRECY or something like that. So naturally like the dog-termined investigative journalists we are, we caught up with them to see what info we could dig up anyway.
Sidewalk Dog: What are you most excited about being on Shark Tank?
Dog Threads: We’re excited to see how America responds to our company. It was such a fun and exciting experience that we can’t wait to share with you all. We’re also hopeful that with this new audience we’ll be able to donate to even more animals in need this holiday season.
SWD: Pup yeah! What are you most nervous about?
DT: Seeing ourselves on TV. Neither of us are into the spotlight so it will be a very surreal experience. Pitching to the sharks was the most nerve-wracking part though!
SWD: Yeah my dog doesn’t even like to look at himself in the mirror. What was your goal or strategy for meeting with them?
DT: To seek investment with a strategic partner who can help us scale our business and take it to the next level.
SWD: Real talk: do you have a favorite shark?
DT: We were both very into Shark Tank even before we were cast on the show, so we definitely have our favorites. Robert [Herjavec] for his charisma. Daymond [John] for being such a dog-lover. [Mark] Cuban for his on-point business advice.
SWD: Sooooo, are you happy with the results of your time in the Tank?
DT: Pitching to the sharks was an incredible experience that we’re very grateful for. We don’t believe in regret and would do it all over in a heartbeat!
SWD: Finally, we gotta know: will you bring dogs on the show?
DT: Of course! But we can’t say which famous pups will be there quite yet. Secrets, you know.
