Moultrie County now has a new pet grooming business, Lucky Dog Pet Grooming, opened by owner Carrie Simmons.

Simmons, who is a native of Blue Mound, graduated from Eastern Illinois University and was an auditor with ADM for several years. But after having children and being a stay-at-home mom for a short time, Simmons decided to follow her passion for animals and attend the Hair at the Dog pet grooming school in Monticello. There she completed the hands-on training necessary to graduate including learning how to use clippers, what blades work and how they are used, thinning shears, trimming nails, cleaning out ears, how different breeds should be bathed, teeth brushing, and also working with the customer to assure that they receive the quality service they want for their pet.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
