Cornucopia Now in 2018 – After Shark Tank
Dr. Geoffrey Broderick and his daughter, Kristina Broderick appeared on Shark Tank, hoping to receive an investment of three hundred thousand dollars. With that money, they were going to expand their Cornucopia Express products, which are supplements that allegedly can prevent many different kinds of diseases and cancer in pets and humans alike.
Dr. Geoffrey Broderick and Kristina Broderick were not able to get an investment from any of the Sharks, because none of them really believed that the products actually worked. Things got worse because of the fact that Dr. Geoffrey Broderick doesn’t have any credible proof to back his claims. This caused some of the Sharks to believe that Cornucopia Express is nothing but a scam. There is no mention of Cornucopia being the best or worst on Shark Tank, but without actual proof, there was no way that the Sharks would actually invest.
I would have imagined that Cornucopia Express would fail as a company, especially after not receiving an investment from the Sharks. However, the company itself still exists, and you can find it by going to https://www.cornucopiapetfoods.com. The website itself is professionally designed; you can find information about all the different Cornucopia products, feeding calculators and much more.
There are three different categories of products on the Cornucopia website, which are called Cornucopia Pet Food, Super-Food & Phyto-Food and Combo Packs. You can order all kinds of different pet food, with the prices ranging from $19,99 up to $399,89. It is nice to see that there are combo packs available, allowing you to save money on your purchases.
Cornucopia also has a Facebook page, where you can read up on a lot of animal news. It is not easy to find reviews for the Cornucopia products, but most people seem to be positive about the fact that their pets seem more active after eating Cornucopia products. Occasionally, there is a comment that states that Cornucopia products are too expensive, to which the Facebook page owners seem to respond patiently and positively.
