The lid then lifts up and the fresh food is available.

Peter designed the original prototype of Pedaldish using parts from a pedal bin in his garage in Redditch, Worcestershire. Fed up with throwing away cat food that had spoiled in the warm weather, Pete developed the idea for a lidded cat bowl with ramp that would open when a cat or small dog steps on the ramp. This would prevent wet food from drying out and keep flies away. To enable other cat owners to benefit from his idea though, he needed funding to develop the product. Once he had created a prototype, Peter worked with Blue Orchid, a Worcester-based business growth consultancy and Worcestershire Proof of Concept (POC) grant-funding programme - which is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. POC is one of a number of business support programmes at Worcestershire County Council and aims to support smaller businesses to develop and protect early stage innovative business ideas.After appearing on Dragon’s Den in 2013, the company secured a deal with Boots and launched Skinny Tan in Spain, Canada, South Africa, and Dubai. Peter spent two years developing Pedaldish, experimenting to find the ideal size and shape for the ramp and bowl. I would come home to find my cats’ pet food untouched and covered in fly eggs and I knew something had to change. I modified a pedal bin, fitted it with a ramp and taught my cats to step onto it when they wanted to eat. From that day I never lost pet food to flies again,” said Peter .
