TiCK MiTT began as a simple, powerful idea: a reusable mitt that removes ticks from people and pets—no chemicals, no stress. But scaling that idea into a retail-ready product? That’s where Go Get Made stepped in. Together, we transformed a prototype into a polished, manufacturable product now sold across the U.S. and Canada. This is the story of how a founder’s mission met the right team—and got made.
A Founder’s Mission Meets a Manufacturing Wall
Olivia Abrams had a clear goal: make tick checks easier and safer for families and their pets. After developing the TiCK MiTT—a non-toxic, reusable mitt designed to remove ticks—she faced the challenge of scaling production without compromising on quality or affordability. The existing manufacturing setup couldn’t meet the evolving demands, and the path to retail shelves seemed daunting. Enter Go Get Made. We specialize in turning innovative ideas into scalable products, and TiCK MiTT was a perfect fit.
Engineering the Product for Scale
Our first step was to analyze the existing prototype and identify areas for improvement. Collaborating closely with Olivia, we focused on:
- Material Optimization: Selecting fabrics that mimic the qualities ticks naturally adhere to, ensuring effectiveness while being safe for both humans and pets.
- Design Refinement: Adjusting the mitt’s design for better ergonomics and usability, making it more appealing to a broader market.
- Manufacturing Efficiency: Streamlining the production process to reduce costs without sacrificing quality.
Through these efforts, we achieved a product that was not only more effective but also more cost-efficient to produce.
Launching into the Market
With a refined product in hand, TiCK MiTT was ready to hit the market. We assisted in establishing relationships with key retailers, leading to TiCK MiTT being stocked in over 400 stores across the U.S. and Canada, including major platforms like Chewy.com. The product also gained media attention, featuring on shows like Good Morning America and The View.
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive:
“Got a mitt and got a tick!! Found it crawling on me so I did a simple swipe with the mitt and the tick stuck to it like Velcro. Amazing product!!” – Linda
These testimonials underscore the product’s effectiveness and the trust it has garnered among users.
