Tracy Carathanasis
Tracy is the proud owner of Benjamin Biscuit Club, and she loves her business! She is married with 3 kids and 2 dogs, Margo and Otis. Margo is a shepherd/lab mix, born approximately 2017, and she was Tracy's foster dog with Florida All Retriever Rescue (FARR). Margo arrived with a hole in her eye, and bullets in her head and body. Her eye was stitched up and healed, and adopted by Tracy's family! Otis is a blue harlequin Great Dane, born 2020, as goofy and silly as they come!
Tracy earned her Masters Degree in Counseling and worked as a children's counselor and social worker. Tracy has always loved dogs and wanted to pursue a career working with them. In March 2014, she purchased The Dog Dorks, and made it into her own, Benjamin Biscuit Club. Her experience with dogs began as a teenager in Michigan, where she managed a large boarding facility. She has participated in dog training classes, Fly-ball, and Canine Good Citizen with her own dogs. Tracy is currently a board member with FARR, and regularly fosters dogs in her home.
