PetSmart has launched its 2026 Chief Toy Tester Contest, inviting one cat and one dog (plus their humans) to become official toy testers. Winners will receive $10,000, quarterly product packages of the latest toys, treats, apparel, and gear, and VIPP Treats Rewards status. Over a one-year term, the chosen pets will test and review new PetSmart products, sharing feedback and social media content to guide other pet owners.
Applicants—U.S. pet parents aged 18 or older—must submit an application at PetSmartChiefToyTester.com by Nov. 6, 2025, including a 15–30-second video and a 200-word toy review. Ideal candidates are playful, expressive pets with camera-ready personalities and owners skilled at creating engaging, high-quality content. PetSmart’s SVP Matt Byrnes says the program celebrates the joy pets bring and connects the pet community through fun, authentic reviews. Full contest details and official rules are available online.
