The dog and cat hired for the role will be a part of numerous product unboxings and company events throughout the one-year tenure of the role.
The Chief Toy Testers are set to ensure that all new toys and treats are thoroughly evaluated, while also managing their pet parents who are expected to post the findings on social media.
According to the retail chain, the ideal pets chosen will have a unique nose for the best toys and treats, while directing their pet parents to create compelling social media footage and be able to commit to a one-year partnership with PetSmart.
