PetSmart is offering $20K for cat, dog 'employees' to test new toys and treats
'Chief toy tester' role is a one-year gig with plenty of perks
All work — all play!
PetSmart is looking to hire two chief toy testers — one cat and one dog — to give the brand's new toys and treats a try.
The pet company, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is offering $10,000 to each of the canine and feline employees (collected by their humans, presumably) to carry out the important toy tester role.

The chosen cat and dog will be responsible for "ensuring pets nationwide are in the know about the best pet products PetSmart has to offer," the company wrote in a press release.
For the next year, the chief toy testers will receive ongoing shipments of PetSmart’s newest products to try and then review.
