Your best friend could be the “Chief Toy Inspector” of PetSmart

Your pup-ster could have the title of CTI…”Chief Toy Inspector!” He or she could be bringing home the bacon too! PetSmart may want to hire them for the role of a lifetime.

PetSmart is hiring!  They are looking for one cat and one dog to be “Chief Toy Inspectors” and participate in PetSmart product unboxings, as well as appear at events as a “celebrity VIP (Very Important Pet).” Duties for the one-year gig include making sure new toys are treats are “assessed with the utmost consideration,” while also helping out their parents when it comes to posting on social media.

The only requirements are a talent for toy testing and “an advanced palate” for treat-tasting. I know it’s a job any furry friend would likely do for free, selected pets will receive toy and treat product deliveries, quarterly salon treatments and $10,000.

You know your furry buddy has all the right stuff to be the new CTI of PetSmart!  Just fill out this application by Feb. 17. You’ll be required to submit a 10- to 30-second video of your cat or dog that shows their personality, plus a still photo of your pet and a review of their favorite toy.

You’ll want to think creatively with your video submission to truly show why your pet should be chosen. PetSmart suggests ideas like a cat strutting the catwalk in their favorite fashion pieces, dogs playing with toys or your pet running around when they get the zoomies.

Would your cat or dog make a great PetSmart Chief Toy Inspector?
