HBO Max Original HAUTE DOG Returns With All-New Episodes on Thursday, February 4

Each episode of Max Original HAUTE DOG features three groomers facing off in head-to-tail creative contests for the title of "Best in Show" and a $10,000 prize. Tasked with turning their K-9s into K-10s, the series introduces top pet stylists from across the country whose interpretations of imaginative challenges and out-of-the-box themes - from "royalty" and "fairy tales" to "safari" and "superheroes" - spotlight the best looks for man's best friend. With hilarious commentary from two fabulous judges, celebrity dog stylist Jess Rona and actor/comedian Robin Thede, along with comedian Matt Rogers as host, HAUTE DOG showcases canine breeds of all kinds in a dazzling array of creative trans-fur-mations!
