“Diamond in the Fluff” special judge and celebrity pet groomer Jonathan David, finalist in Animal Planet’s “Groomer Has It” contest, will help choose three winners. The most transformed pooches will be crowned with prizes from Best Friends Pet Hotel, including a “Ruby from the Ruff” Prize Pack, a “Sapphire After Scruff” Prize Pack, and two dogs will win “Diamond In The Fluff” grand prizes - one People’s Choice winner, and one celebrity judge winner.

According to celebrity judge Jonathan David, "Pets are such a comfort to us at this time, but our pets’ grooming schedule went on hiatus in quarantine. In my salon in West Palm Beach, we have had our work cut out for us. I’m proud to be a judge in this creative online photo contest, and need your help reviewing all these “ruff-to-fluff’ contestants. Vote today to determine which doggy diamonds shined the brightest in this contest,” added David.
