Pooch Perfect is a reality competition series centered on dog grooming, developed by Seven Studios UK (currently known as Beyond Productions UK) and initially aired on Australia's Seven Network. The program, hosted by Rebel Wilson, debuted on 27 February 2020. It showcases ten expert dog groomers who face themed challenges aimed at creatively styling dogs, with judges Amber Lewin and Colin Taylor determining the recipient of a $100,000 prize. The show's title cleverly references the movie Pitch Perfect, which features Wilson.
Although Wilson's involvement and extensive marketing efforts by Seven were notable, the series experienced low viewership and was not included in Seven's 2021 programming announcements. Nevertheless, localized versions were produced for the United Kingdom and United States in 2021, with Wilson reprising her role as host for the American edition.
