Miss Booger was always a VERY happy and rambunctious
dog. A Beagle/Pointer mix, she was solid
muscle and as fast as lightening, which is partially how she got her name. The other part was that once she met you, she
stuck to you!
In the summer of 2006 when Booger was 10 yrs. old, she was
diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma of the skin, a form of cancer that affects blood
vessel cells. She immediately underwent
surgery which removed most of it. Given
the type of cancer we were dealing with, her doctor gave her a guarded
prognosis of only six months to one year to live.
Her Mama, Michelle, began researching holistic care for
dogs. She came up with a blend of vitamins and herbs that could possibly boost
Booger’s immune system and help her body fight the cancer. She hand-ground them and mixed them in beef
gravy which she poured over Booger’s breakfast.
The results were so noticeable that friends and family began asking Michelle
what she was feeding Booger. Even the
doctor couldn’t believe how well she was doing.
With encouragement from loved ones and much research on how
to safely package her vitamin/herb blend without compromising their potency,
Michelle came up with Boogie Bites – homemade dog biscuits which she dips in
her vitamin baste. You’ll find Boogie
Bites here on our website as well as many other wonderful products for pets.
Sadly, Booger passed away on November 14, 2008.
She was 12 ½ years old, one and a half energetic years longer than
expected. Michelle would like to
dedicate this business and this website to her beloved best friend, Booger, who
gave her the most joyful twelve and a half years imaginable.
In honor of Booger, Michelle will give a portion of the
proceeds of this website to charities that help animals. If you would like to make a donation in honor
