It was Kelcee, a German Shepard rescue, that inspired her owners, Sandy and Roman Haffner to become educated in pet nutrition and then go on to open Preskitt’s Pawz ‘n’ Clawz (PPNC) in December, 2020. “During the years of helping Kelcee through her long journey of ailments, we learned a lot about how important the food we feed our pets is to have a successful chance at living a long, healthy life,” said Sandy. “After getting educated in pet nutrition, we decided to open our store to offer pets in the community healthy food options.”

Good pet nutrition is paramount at Preskitt’s Pawz ‘n’ Clawz. They carry a variety of high-quality foods with no GMOs, fillers or antibiotics including kibble, raw, freeze dried and canned. With a certified pet food nutrition specialist on staff, pet parents can receive guidance on making the best selection of fare for their pet. Want to know what causes Fido’s inflammation or itch issues? PPNC offers a Wellness Scan by Glacier Peaks Holistics. With a simple sample of pet hair and saliva, triggers for food, environmental and imbalance reactions are detected. That information can then be used to advise on a healthy food transition, as well as help with imbalances like yeast and inflammation.

The sizeable 2700 square foot expanse also includes a vast assortment of toys—stuffed, tough, soft, tugs, floats, balls and interactive, as well as an inhouse bakery. “We add human grade recipes to bake up delicious treats for dogs and cats,” said Sandy. “We also bake cakes to order (with 24 hours’ notice).”

Then there’s Kelcee’s Spa (emphasis on the word “spa”). Preskitt’s Pawz ‘n’ Clawz has taken the self-dog wash to a new and very welcomed level for dogs and their owners. The tranquil spa décor, along with facials, options of bath or shower, use of warm washcloths an enjoyable and towels and dryers, make for an experience that you, and your dog, will want to return for again and again. Mark your calendars for PPNC’s Christmas in July on July 31. A beach party, complete with Santa and Mrs. Claus, will include a BBQ/smoker raffle; sales in-store; a host of vendors with samples and educational material; as well as specials in Kelcee’s Spa.
