I've been grooming the East Valley since 1983 and loving it. I've been lucky to know and enjoy my customers for many years now, they're like family. Right now I have four wonderful four-legged kids and enjoy every minute of them. Zeffur and Mickey are usually at the shop with me and they too like visiting with the customers. I have enjoyed working at the Green Bulldog for almost 3 years now, and I'm looking forward to many more. It's very rewarding to work with a few of the rescues that the Green Bulldog supports, everyone tries really hard to find great homes for these lost and abused animals. I hope with your help we can find some wonderful forever homes for even more of them. In my spare time I enjoy crafting and working in my garden, I love traveling and being in the outdoors; hiking, camping, ATV'n, reading a good book or just taking pictures. Looking forward to adding new customers to my family here at The Green Bulldog. "Live the life you love, love the life you live!"

As an experienced groomer of more than 30 years, owner Andrea Laired began her career grooming in Texas. Learning to groom the show Bichon Frise was a marvelous starting point, with an emphasis on hand scissoring skills it was only a matter of time before a full career in grooming emerged.
With happy grooming clients from George Foreman, to a presidential pooch named "Millie" and star of screen "Beethoven"… she found there were no limits to the wonderful doors the pet industry would open for her. Andrea has had the opportunity to train groomers in humane grooming concepts. She prefers natural grooming using biodegradable products that are gentle and proven the finest in the grooming industry and combining that with an environment that is less stressful.
Working in Arizona for the last 20 years, I enjoyed working with a number of great veterinarians who were so helpful in creating healthier processes added to my grooming style. I work very hard to make sure our team keeps your pet's experience as healthy as possible.
Come and see the difference for yourself, combine our unique grooming environment with a facility that is clean enough to make your veterinarian smile.

From a very small age, I knew I wanted to work with animals. I wanted to return to them the unconditional love they always show people. As I got older, I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with my life. I contemplated my future playing with my schnauzer puppy, Elmer and that’s when the answer hit me. I needed to work with or around animals. I started doing some research and set a path for myself that would lead me to veterinary school. Halfway through my college education, I had to opportunity to shadow some local veterinarians and ask a lot of questions. I was informed that a requirement for veterinary school was to have 500 hours of animal handling experience. With working full time and attending class full time, volunteering wasn’t going to be an option. I started as a receptionist in a grooming salon shortly after. After working there a short time, I knew I had to become a groomer. I loved seeing how happy the dogs would be to see us and how they strut their stuff when they had a fresh haircut and good bath. It wasn’t like the vet’s office where animals came in with pain or fear. Over the years, my passion for grooming has only grown. I try to spoil my dogs with lots of love and a gentle touch so they know that I am there to make them feel and look good. Not only do I know I am being trusted with a precious member of the family, but I want pet parents to know I treat their pet like a member of my family as well.
