Trailer: ‘Haute Dog’ returns to HBO Max with new episodes February 4
HBO Max Original hit Haute Dog is returning in February with five all-new episodes that will dress up pampered pups in everything from fairy tale frocks to disco duds.
Each episode of 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.
