The Dragons’ Den love affair with animals continues this evening (Thursday) with another pet product company appearing on the prime-time BBC One series.

Only three episodes of the new series have been aired so far and already pet firm Piddle Patch has secured an investment from a Dragon (episode two).

And another company, Barking Bags, seeks to win financial backing in the fourth programme being shown at 8pm. 

The pet accessory business based near Milton Keynes, which won the Best New Business at the Pet Industry Federation Awards sets foot in the Den. 

Barking Bags seeks investment to expand theenterprise from one of the formable multimillionaire business investors on the show – Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Sara Davies, Steven Bartlett and Touker Suleyman.

Barking Bags is the brainchild of Debbie Greaves and her partner Rob Angell, who were inspired by the need to find a bag that would carry all the paraphernalia required when training and walking their dog Maisie.

Barking Bags are fast becoming an essential companion for dog walkers. Their fashionable and multifunctional unisex design allows the wearer the flexibility to use them cross-body or as a bum bag. They are weatherproof and suitable for any climate or environment.
