It seems like forever ago when dog lovers across the globe would wait with bated breath for Animal Planet’s annual Puppy Bowl to roll around. We’d duck out of the Super Bowl party we were attending, scamper home, and curl up with our pup to watch three hours of pure adorableness.

Things have changed. No longer do we need to wait for that one day a year to watch a show featuring our favorite four-legged friends. Now, pooch parents have a myriad of dog shows readily available at our fingertips. From dog grooming competitions to behind-the-scenes shots at shelters, there are plenty of canine series to binge-watch with your pet.

Here are our five dog show picks to watch tonight with your fur baby.
