Watch the fur fly as Animal Planet brings you its brand new series Groomer Has It.
Presented by Jai Rodriguez (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) this fabulous competition sees a dozen of America’s top dog groomers shampoo, shave and shear their way through a series of challenges to determine who will win a whopping $50,000 as well as their very own mobile grooming salon.
It’s an emotional rollercoaster of a journey, as 12 dog groomers from all over the US meet and compete in the most unique grooming competition ever.
The series kicks off with the groomers’ first trip to the Groomer Has It Salon to meet the judges: vet Dr. Karen Halligan, professional dog handler Xavier Santiago and master grooming instructor Joey Villani. Things really get going with the ‘Quick Sniff Challenge’ where the groomers must identify dogs by their breed - blindfolded.
Jai then reveals the groomers' first clients: a set of 12 yarn dogs, which they must creatively style in just a couple of hours.
There are diva contestants galore from all walks of life including, a celebrity dog groomer and a pet boutique owner. What they all have in common is the belief that they have the ability to groom their way to the top, claiming the ultimate title of Groomer of the Year.
