Plot 

Here's how ABC describes the show: "The eight-episode series will showcase 10 of the best dog groomers in the country, along with their assistants, competing in a series of paw-some themed challenges.  Each week on 'Pooch Perfect,' teams will compete in the Immunity Puppertunity challenge, where one team will earn immunity from elimination. Then, in the Ultimutt Challenge showdown, the remaining teams will face off in an epic grooming transformation, which they will show off on the illustrious dogwalk."

The top three teams compete for a generous cash prize and, of course, the coveted 'Pooch Perfect' trophy. The trio of all-star celebrity judges include reality star Lisa Vanderpump, celebrity dog groomer Jorge Bendersky and Dr Callie Harris, critical care veterinarian.
