Arsalan Khodabandelou seeks a Shark for Woof, his pet well being app, in Shark Tank episode 1419. Arsy got the idea for Woof after he was almost in an accident. He worried that if he were in an accident, his three dogs could be stuck in his apartment for days or worse. That’s why he created this app, which, presumably, can work for any kind of pet.
The way it works is you set geo location timer for your home address. Say you work 9-5 and you set your timer from 8:30 to 6:30. If you don’t return within the pre set time frame, the app “activates.” First it will reach out to you, next to your pre-set emergency contacts and if nobody can be reached, the company will initiate a well being check to keep your pet safe. The app also creates a “pet passport” with all your pet’s vital information for would be care givers. You can also email your pet’s ifo to a pet sitter.
All these features cost $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year. Woof has been in business for four years and has a five star rating in the app store. They must be doing something right. We’ll find out what they want a Shark’s cash for when Arsalan “woofs it up” in front of the Sharks.

Woof Shark Tank Recap
Arsalan will pitch the panel of five Sharks on the business and its prospects for growth. He’ll need to convince Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary that the company is worthy of a Shark investment. A good business plan, good financials, and sales data will impress the Sharks, but he’ll need to show them HE is capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on Woof will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
