PetSmart has opened up a search for one dog and one cat to help spread the word about the best new products the pet store has to offer.

The feline and canine Chief Toy Testers chosen to fill these roles will be paid 10,000 human dollars to spend a year playing with toys, sampling treats, and getting VIP treatment!

“We are recruiting two playful and eager team members to bring into our PetSmart pack as the first-ever Chief Toy Testers. These c-suite pets will let pet parents know they are getting the best tried-and-true products for their beloved furry family members.” – Will Smith, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at PetSmart

The pets selected as Chief Toy Testers will spend one year participating in PetSmart product unboxings and appear at PetSmart events as a celebrity VIP (Very Important Pet). Pet parents will also be asked to post on social media, letting their followers know what their pet thinks about the toys and treats they’ve been testing.
