I didn't even like her clothes- I've seen better.

Kevin was hilarious. When he asked "what happens when a dog needs to potty in a carrier" LMAO!!

I love when he says " I forbid you to move forward on this" he cracks us up.
When one of the sharks asked her what was different about her products from all of the other "dog crap" on the market, she didn't have much to say. I agree with you, I'm not impressed with her products. With all of the top dog clothes and accessories brands, I can tell you what is unique about them.

However with that being said perhaps some stores like Macy's will want to put a boutique like area in their stores with pet items, the market for dog accessories is huge and only getting larger. Now most of the pet items are only sold in pet stores, on line and hit or miss at places like Wallmart and TJ Maxx. While I prefer one of kind type of clothing for Lola and know where to get specialty items I don't think the average consumer is. I am always amazed when I see people in pet stores shopping for a harness for their small pup, (I think that the harnesses lines they carry for small dogs is horrendous) When I tell them how there is a much better selection on line or even at Wallmart they are totally shocked. So I think for many people finding a nice line of upscale pet items in their favorite department store might work.

I forgot the gentleman's name that invested but he knows his way around the department store industry and that means a lot, he also was only going to invest if she secured a certain amount in Purchase Orders so I guess time will tell if they make any money
I think some of the rudeness on the show is part gimmick, like shows with judges. There is always one really rude judge.

I agree with you that the majority of pet parents simply don't know where to shop for things. People who don't participate in online forums or Facebook don't know all that is available out there.
