@@jrbs How was she nasty? She was begging the guy not to jack in his IT job that likely paid somewhere near six figures a year, lose his home, his marriage etc on this insanity. Doug was the only one I would say that came off as being rude-but that was always his manner.

[@manishm9478]

Hi I wouldn't call her 'nasty', but her response did seem a bit silly. Every entrepreneur makes their own decision to risk a stable income as an employee in order to build a business. Even if the business fails they have all the learnings from that. To tell an entrepreneur to go back to being an employee is something I would find insulting to their courage to explore entrepreneurship.

Woodroffe appeared on the first series of Dragons' Den. However, after only one series of the programme, he left the panel. Woodroffe stated that the reason behind his departure was: "The show became a battle of egos - not a forum for business innovation. The thing to remember was that when you walk up the stairs to pitch, it’s not five people necessarily thinking, 'How am I going to be able to make an investment here?', they’re also thinking, 'Am I going to be the star of this next little piece?'. That's not how I was told the show would go down.". Spot on.

[@piers389]

For most of us, this product is actually quite useful. I wash my dog but not every day as it's harmful for the dog. Dogs naturally smell. These dragons are so out of touch it's just sad.

[@etherealessence]

A weekly bath is enough to keep most dogs from stinking up the place. Having to buy a mat and then replace filters every few months is a bit of an ask when a bath once a week is all it takes to eliminate the same problem.

[@AJediSurvivor]

Not only that, but also people who generally clean their houses 2-3 times a week don’t need to buy a mat and replace filters when, like etherealessence says, wash your dog once a week as well. This I invention is just ridiculous.

[@nadominhoca]

@@etherealessence I don't follow your logic. How come bathing your dog once a week (spending water, dog shampoo, time) is less time consuming than buying a mat and replace filters once every two months? Both goes hand in hand. You can bathe your dog and buy this mat. Can't see why they are conflicting.

[@ebonimom6964]

Am I the only one who has dogs that virtually has no smell? I have a 3 bdr 2 ba single story home... I keep my home very clean though so maybe that is the reason why dog odors arent an issue for me. Only time they smell is if they just came from out in the rain but when they dry, they're fine

[@CherubiJubell]

@@nadominhoca Because you have to wash the dog anyway? Washing the dog is independent of having/changing the filter.

[@DaviesD85]

I don't understand why they're so hostile to this guy. It's actually a good idea. We've owned dogs for decades. We're very clean and we wash them when needed, but you can wash your dog and it'll go and roll around in the garden the same day. You're not supposed to wash dogs too often or they lose the oil in their hair.

[@MrJamberee]

It’s not a good idea. If your dog smells bad, you wash the dog. You still have to clean this mat, so skip the mat purchase and wash the dog.

I don't get it. All dogs make houses smell bad. The smell puts people off, especially people who have to work in their own house.

A lot of them just got lucky after lots of failures. For example Toukers foundations were after he brought home some textiles that was popular with his mother group of friends and she sold them on his behalf, he eventually took it to a larger market. For the most part the Dragons don't run their business, they have people that run their business for them. If you look at Peter Jones, after multiple failures he was basically homeless at the age of 28, he got a job at a tech company and then later got promted until he ran it, he then used that leverage to increase his fortune. Its easy to make money when you have money.

Implementing the mat into some sort of 'shoe box' would have a larger market appeal. Then trial at at TJ Maxx etc where customers can use the box in the store and see the difference it makes. Imagine if shoe boxes used this technology so when you buy shoes you have the option of paying extra to get the odour absorbing box instead of the regular cardboard ones. Or maybe make a pad or soul that sits inside the shoe, you put it in once you're done using them and take it out before putting them back on.

Dug Richards thinks the product stinks because he enjoys "grooming" his dog

I shouldn't have found this as funny as I did...

[@WorldAcclaimed]

Well said Simon, absolutely spot on

[@vileguile4]

Great for many to have in the car i think. Most dog owner's cars smell of dog.

[@josephbons1]

The fact of the matter is if you clean well your animals do not smell. So just clean up after yourself and your animals and you won't have to worry about that.

if you think everyone washes their dogs, you need to go out more my guy

I don't like the smirking that Duncan can't seem to suppress in almost every episode. It should be beneath him.

[@positronicfeed]

You see, the danger with the episodes where the inventor goes up the stairs is that there's a chance it could be a pre-Deborah and pre-Theo episode.

[@terranceparsons5185]

Had a dog for more than 10 years. The only time it smelled was after it was skunked.

Simon was a bit too Citizen Smith, with up the bosses & jack in your high paying job to chase your dream-easy for him with tens or hundreds of million in the bank, but not for this guy.

Dragons are over stepping the line to being personally offensive just because they don't agree with the proposal.

Back when Peter looked like he'd gone 12 rounds with the Flush on the Toilet

[@feralferret]

A lot of dogs, often entire breeds, are susceptible to skin problems especially when the dog is older, which can resort in dog odour no matter how many times you bath your dog in a week. A mat that reduces odour and is certified allergen-free could certainly reduce problems, moreso with older dogs that prefer to spend more time relaxing.

[@smith0779]

Two dog mats for sale. One dog mat and the other with odour prevention. Which would you choose?

Doug was talking about his wife when he said ''She's rich and ripe'' . . .

[@RamzaSilverburg]

Doug Richard strikes me as someone who won't use toilet paper because "there is underwear for that, toilet paper solves a problem that doesn't exist".

[@juandocuc]

"Heroically inappropriate", Doug? There's nothing heroic about inappropriate behaviour...as you should know.
