Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Happy Cat Collar After Dragons’ Den?
Happy Cat Collar appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 1. The business was a nylon wire collar for cats. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2021.
The Pitch
Phil Crisp walked into the Den in 2009 with a nylon wire collar for cats. They were asking for £150,000.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Phil Crisp left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Happy Cat Collar did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2021, some 12 years after the pitch.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Happy Cat Collar Still in Business?
No. Happy Cat Collar is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
