Cat product inventor Victor Carpio clinched an investment offer for his innovative Dental Wand when he appeared on BBC One’s hit programme Dragons’ Den. He accepted Deborah Meaden’s offer of £45,000 for 40% of his business.

Victor appeared in the Den last Thursday, demonstrating the Dental Wand to the Dragons and claiming his product was the cat-friendly way to brush a cat’s teeth.

He explained that he tried brushing his cat’s teeth with a tooth brush but it proved to be a disturbing experience for both. Victor realised that he wasn’t the only cat owner that struggled with cleaning his pet’s teeth, so he decided to create the Dental Wand.

Victor went into the Den and asked for £45,000 in return for 10% of the business. He received two offers of the full amount for 40% equity from both Deborah Meaden and Touker Suleyman before deciding to go with the former.
