Online pet store shut down after £6.3m 'unexplained transactions'
The Insolvency Service said accounts showed no significant transactions despite more than £6.3 million in payments and widespread complaints from customers and agencies.
- On Tuesday, September 22, the High Court wound up Funny Fuzzy, an online pet retailer, following an investigation by the Insolvency Service into unrecorded financial transactions and customer complaints.
- Investigators discovered the business filed accounts showing no significant transactions, despite evidence of more than £6.3 million in incoming payments between August 2023 and January 2026.
- Funnyfuzzy Tech UK Co. Ltd refused to cooperate with investigators and maintained no presence at its registered London address, while receiving complaints from customers, Action Fraud, and Trading Standards.
- Mark George, chief investigator at the Insolvency Service, noted the company's predecessor was shut down in 2024, stating those behind such firms appear to "ignore UK company laws."
- The Insolvency Service remains committed to disrupting similar business models, as George warned "we are watching and we will investigate" any entities attempting to replicate this trading behavior.
