Bug Bakes pitched insect-protein dog food and treats in series 17, with University of Glasgow graduate Ross Lamond giving up half the business for fifty thousand pounds, a deal Touker Suleyman took on in full.

Older accounts describe the brand still selling through stockists.

One Dragon, The Full Ask

Touker Suleyman was reportedly the sole Dragon to bite, but he took the whole fifty thousand pounds for the full half of the company originally offered, a take-it-all deal Lamond agreed to on the spot instead of trying to haggle the equity down.

Building a dog food brand around insect protein was a genuinely early bet on a lower-impact alternative to meat-based pet food, a category that has since moved much closer to the mainstream.

Past The Point Where The Deal Mattered

Notes on file describe the range, insect-based food and treats alike, still moving through the company's own site plus a handful of outside sellers, one being a specialist pet retailer, with no dedicated Amazon shopfront.

The business has reportedly grown well beyond the point where the original television money still mattered to its survival.

Note: Based on the public record; company situations can change, so treat this as a snapshot.
