Hosted by award-winning Hollywood actress and former fifth generation junior dog handler, REBEL WILSON, Seven’s POOCH PERFECT features 10 professional pet stylists (and their assistants) competing in a series of pawsome themed challenges revealing epic transformations of adored family pets.
“POOCH PERFECT is going to be a ton of fun and showcase some amazing dogs and dog lovers. Technically I’m allergic to dogs though…so hopefully they can edit around my sneezing!” says The Hustle and Bridesmaids star.
“My childhood was full of weekend adventures at dog shows all around Australia and my family had a business selling pet products out of a caravan – such as leads, treats and the best dog styling equipment available.”
Joining Rebel on the hunt for Australia’s Greatest Pet Stylist is her fluffy, four-legged co-host ‘RUSSEL THE BRUSSEL’, a sassy Brussels Griffon. With his gruff little bark and cheeky nod of the head, he’s putting the ‘wag’ back into swag and showing the pooches of Pooch Palace how it’s done.
In each episode, challenges take place inside the Pooch Palace salon (aka Disneyland for dogs). Based on the creative brief, the stylists design and style their assigned dog against the POOCH PERFECT clock.
Teams then hit the dog walk hosted by Rebel to reveal the pet’s sparkling new look to POOCH PERFECT judges, international styling experts AMBER LEWIN and COLIN TAYLOR and the pet’s excited owners.
One lucky team is awarded Best in Show and proceeds straight to the next round. The three lowest scoring teams face the nail-biting elimination challenge where one team will go home with their tail between their legs.
The winner will be crowned Australia’s Greatest Pet Stylist, appropriately sashed and take home $100,000 in prize money.
POOCH PERFECT is a Seven Studios production.
Pooch Perfect 7:30 Thursday February 27 on Seven.
