In downtown Brighton, Michigan, DogWatch, a doggy boutique and invisible fence installation company, recently made a generous donation to Metro Detroit police departments. The company purchased canine emergency kits and donated them to the police departments, which were greatly appreciated by Michigan State trooper Jeff Schrieber. Schrieber highlighted the importance of these kits for dogs in dangerous situations as K-9 officers face similar risks and challenges as human officers while working to keep communities safe, search for missing persons, and combat crimes involving narcotics.
Schrieber emphasized that the dogs are frequently put in unfriendly and potentially harmful situations as they carry out their duties. The emergency kits contain essential items such as bandages, peroxide, clippers for nails, and tick-removal tools to ensure the well-being of the police dogs. Corrie Gizicki of DogWatch shared that she discovered the kits at a pet expo and decided to donate them to Michigan State Police, who welcomed the assistance as they previously did not have similar kits available for their K-9 officers.
During the donation process, Gizicki was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm and gratitude shown by the Michigan State Police officers and their dogs. The kits include familiar items from her experience working in an emergency room, such as Coban with puppy prints on it. With a total of 90 items in each kit, Gizicki emphasized that the kits are well-equipped to handle a variety of emergency situations that may arise while the K-9 officers are on duty.
The K-9 officers at Michigan State Police were grateful for this generous donation from DogWatch. They knew that having access to these emergency kits would help keep their dogs safe during dangerous situations. The canine officers work tirelessly alongside human officers to protect communities from harm and keep people safe.
In conclusion, DogWatch’s generous donation of canine emergency kits has been greatly appreciated by Metro Detroit police departments. These emergency kits will help ensure that K-9 officers are equipped with everything they need to handle any situation that may arise while on duty.
