Pet Royale are based in Stirling but cover the Trossachs and Central Scotland. They mainly specialise in dog home boarding where your pet can stay in specially selected private homes with experienced and dedicated host families whilst you are away from home perhaps on holiday, on business, or in hospital. You can be assured that your pet will be lovingly taken care of and will follow your own routine for food, treats and medication with plenty of walks and fuss! They can also arrange for small pet sitting for cats, rabbits and other small furries as well as birds and fish. So whether your own pet has "paws or claws" consider them as the kinder alternative to kennels or catteries

Dear Tigger I'll remember you, my special little friend.
You were a source of comfort, I loved you till the end.
My Heart's been filled with sadness since that poignant day.
When God took you to Heaven, now in His home you stay.
But you'll remain forever in my mind and in my heart.
For you were really special - of my life you were a part.
