It is my honor to recommend Sandy, owner of Preskitt Pawz & Clawz and Pet Foodie Tips, for her expertise in working dog nutrition and holistic health. As the handler of K9 Sam with the Sedona Police Department, I have seen firsthand how her guidance can improve and sustain the health and effectiveness of a Police K9. Police K9s are highly trained professionals who perform specialized work such as detection of narcotics, explosives, or firearms, and tracking human scent across challenging terrain. To consistently meet these demands, their nutrition and wellness must be carefully maintained. Gut health, brain function, joint support, hydration, and allergy management directly affect focus, endurance, and sensory precision. Allergies or nutritional imbalances can distract a K9, reduce performance, and shorten a working K9’s career. Sandy’s work is not only about correcting health problems, but also about preventative care to keep healthy dogs strong, resilient, and ready for duty. In February 2024, when my K9 partner Sam exhibited severe allergies and gut issues, Sandy created a targeted nutrition plan with high-quality, allergen-free ingredients. His symptoms eased, his coat improved, and his stamina and focus in the field increased dramatically. Sandy’s vision goes beyond individual cases. She is developing guides and presentations that highlight how nutrition supports longevity, brain health, joint strength, hydration, and overall vitality in working dogs. By sharing this knowledge with departments nationwide, she offers agencies the chance to extend K9 careers, reduce preventable health setbacks, and maximize daily performance. I give Sandy my highest recommendation. Handlers that work with her will be investing not only in the immediate effectiveness of their K-9 partners, but also in the long-term health and service of these invaluable partners. Respectfully,
Officer Catherine Beers Sedona Police Department – K9 Unit Handler for K9 Sam
