Carol's Pet Grooming has been a business with a business here at Wayside Animal Hospital since 1984. Carol, an Auburn University alumnus, found that the skill and art of pet styling was a great way to work and be a mom, too! 
     Just as with people, being clean and well groomed contributes to the overall health and well being of our furry family members. If any problems or potential problems are observed during grooming, owners are made aware of them or referred to the veterinarian for further evaluation.
     Carol encourages the adpotion of new family members through animal shelters or pet rescue services. Smokey Joe, who lived to be about nineteen years old, was adopted from the Lake Martin Animal Shelter. Throughout his long, well loved life, he visited alzheimer's patients in nursing homes as well as helped educate many children in the Tallapoosa County area about animal welfare and well being. He is often remembered for sporting his orange and blue colors!
     Carol, her husband Bob, and daughter Emily live on their farm in Notasulga. She is active in the Alabama Cattlemen's and Cattlewomen's Associations and has served on the board of the Lake Martin Area Boys and Girls Club. Carol's Pet Grooming is also a member of the Alex City Chamber of Commerce
