About

Panda an Irish Staffy, was my dog for 15 years. She was a very lively girl and we spent lots of happy hours together.  Sadly she went over the rainbow bridge to doggy heaven in 2012 and I still miss her every day.

​

It felt completely 'right' that I would name the business after my beautiful girl, who brought so much joy to my life.

PANDA

I am now the happy owner of beautiful Tilly the Shih Tzu/Staffy - she is a delight and I love her very much.

Following a career in human resources & redundancy in 2014 I made the life changing decision to become self-employed & start my own business doing something that I have always loved & Panda Pet Services began.
