PetParker

Adi Kabazo, from Vancouver, British Columbia, pitched Pet Parker Canada, a network of pet safety pods placed at retail and hospitality venues where dogs can be securely housed while owners run errands, asking for $250,000 for 10% of the company. The service is business-to-business, charging venues about $400 a month per unit which costs around $2,000 to manufacture plus about $100 a month in ongoing costs; the company holds an exclusive Canadian license from a Brazilian operator that has about 220 units generating roughly $600,000 in operating revenue, while Pet Parker Canada has about 20 units in Vancouver after six months and had only just invoiced its first paying customer. Adi Kabazo has invested $225,000 personally, and projects $60,000 in revenue this year, breaking even in 2025 at $250,000, and reaching $2.5 million by 2026.

Manjit Minhas went out, citing a capital-intensive business with a small market. Wes Edens went out, calling the concept off-putting. Brian Scudamore went out, unconvinced by the traction shown in Brazil. Michele Romanow went out without offering. Arlene Dickinson went out, questioning whether the money invested so far had been well spent, leaving the pitch without a deal.

PetParker is still operating and sells through its website.
