The Dog-G8 Company, who were recently offered a £50k investment from entrepreneur Deborah Meaden on BBC One’s Dragons’ Den for their range of highly versatile, concertina gates, has reported record sales at Crufts.

Peter Maxted founder of The Dog G8 Company, said: “We had such fantastic show. There was such a positive vibe this year and our stand was incredibly busy. Crufts seemed to be back to pre-pandemic levels. Sales at the show were good and we came back to an impressive order book as people go away and measure their required spans for the gates. We made some amazing connections as well as visit from Dr Claire Guest CEO of Medical Detection Dogs, who is another advocate of our product.”

Peter devised the Dog-G8 gate because of the risks associated with dogs at front doors – escapes, attacks and thefts. Although there were other gates on the market, he felt they were inadequate and ineffective enough to work for all breeds. 

Son Chris is also a director in the business and has been working alongside Merseyside Dog Safety Partnership and the University of Liverpool to raise awareness of dog attacks and their impact on delivery workers.
