We want every set of paws to have a safe, comfortable grooming experience, where their boundaries are heard and patiently worked on overtime... That isn't a sales pitch, it is our mission.
Using our inventive Grooming X Training hybrid formula, our team is trained in Canine Body Language, Certified Dog Training techniques, and use only high quality products to promise a unique, tailor-made experience with a spa-like feel for each and every client!
Welcome to
Sunflower Paws Parlour!
Love at first groom!
Beyond the coat, care you can trust.
WE DO GROOMING DIFFERENTLY.
WHAT MOST DOG GROOMERS DO:
✘ No introductions for the dog or client
✘ In and out approach due to back to back appointments
✘ Clock watching to fit into a tight schedule
✘ Busy, loud environment
✘ Multiple dogs being groomed or roaming around during your dog's groom
✘ Pulling limbs, grabbing scruffs, and using harsh handling to restrain your dog during their groom
✘ Using aversive methods to get the job done
✘ Cheap product stock that often contains nasty chemicals
✘ No formal training
✘ Unclear or hidden price lists that change unexpectedly
✘ No tolerance policy towards behavioural challenges, resulting in immediate blacklisting
✘ Blanket approach to every dog
✘ Rushed hand over with no owner debrief upon pick up

BUT WHY DO WE DO ALL THIS?
We are a true animal rights company. We understand how overwhelming the grooming process can be for both pups and their owners, so we're ready to put our time where our mouth is and use our professional skills and personal knowledge to cater for each and every set of paws.
Ethical grooming does exist and we've been preparing for this for a long time.
That's why we're a dedicated force-free salon based in Margate, Kent.
