What Happened to Barking Bags After Dragons’ Den?
Barking Bags appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2022, Series 19 Episode 4. The business was a portable bag for storing goods for dogs. They secured investment from Sara Davies on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Rob Angel and Debbie Greeves walked into the Den in 2022 with a portable bag for storing goods for dogs. They were asking for £35,000 in exchange for 25% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Sara Davies offered £35,000 for 25%, and Rob Angel and Debbie Greeves accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
Barking Bags is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 4 years since the pitch.
Is Barking Bags Still in Business?
Yes. Barking Bags appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
