Lisa Lloyd also states that her entire family is counting on Treasure Chest Pets to work, be profitable and to be a success. She also says that running your own company can become very stressful and that she has cried herself to sleep more times than she could count.

Treasure Chest Pets Now in 2018- The After Shark Tank Update
Both Kevin Harrington and Kevin O’Leary dropped out fairly early during Lisa Lloyd’s presentation, due to the fact that they did not believe in the products. Daymond John and Barbara Corcoran offered a joint deal of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in exchange for sixty percent of Treasure Chest Pets, while Robert Herjavec offered the same amount of money, and stated that he will load the money to hear.
Lisa Lloyd decided to accept Daymond John’s and Barbara Corcoran’s offer, due to the fact that she believed she needed more than just money. She needed the help and expertise of Daymond John and Barbara Corcoran, in order to grow her company. There was no mention of Treasure Chest Pets being the best or worst on Shark Tank.
Even though Lisa Lloyd accepted a deal from Daymond John and Barbara Corcoran, it does not seem like Treasure Chest Pets are still being sold today. The company does not have a website where you can purchase the Treasure Chest Pets, nor do other retailers, such as Amazon, have them in stock.
On her own personal website, she has a video, where she explains how she got selected to be on Shark Tank. She states that she is entirely grateful to Daymond John, because he tried to do everything to keep Treasure Chest Pets afloat, but unfortunately, the business was unable to recover. In the video, Lisa Lloyd also states that she had presented her products to another company, who then turn around and started producing and selling knock-offs of the original Treasure Chest Pets.
