An animal lover from a very young age, Carol worked with horses from her early teens through her thirties, including race horses and three day eventers. In 1982 she saw an advertisement for Pedigree Career Institute in Lynn MA, attended, and fell in love with grooming cats and dogs. She’s been involved in the pet industry since then in various capacities, including grooming in and owning a busy suburban shop, working as a product expert for PetEdge, teaching seminars and training dogs. She certified as a Master Groomer with NDGAA in 1990 and as a Certified Pet Dog Trainer in 2007. Carol currently resides in rural Maine and grooms a few clients and continues to write for Pet Business Magazine and still learns more about animals all the time.
