Does your dog love to play tug of war? Is he really into chasing a ball? Does he always go after the squeakers in his chew toys?
If you have a dog or cat that loves toys, we’ve found a lucrative job opportunity for your pet.
PetSmart is looking for one dog and one cat to take on the job of “chief toy tester” for its 1,660-store chain of pet supply shops. Each pet — and its human parents — will get paid $10,000 for a year of testing out toys and treats.
(It’s about time Fido and Simba started carrying their weight financially, don’t you think?)
Specifically, PetSmart is looking for a photogenic, friendly, sociable dog and cat to serve as brand ambassadors on social media.
During their year on the job, the canine and feline chief toy testers will be expected to participate in product unboxing videos for pet toys and treats — once per quarter, for a total of four videos. They’ll also appear at a variety of PetSmart events as a celebrity VIP (Very Important Pet).
They’ll also get quarterly salon treatments, or “spaw days,” at their local PetSmart.
Meanwhile, the pet’s human parents will be expected to capture compelling video footage of all this for social media. They’ll also need to commit to a yearlong contract on behalf of Rover or Fluffy.
