You can get paid to test pet products

One of the world's fastest growing marketplaces has posted a job advert on its website recruiting for ‘ Pet Product Inspectors ’, to test and review all pet-related products onsite.

The marketplace is looking to recruit two dogs and two cats of varying ages to test products suitable for each animal, from food and toys to clothing and beds. Following the reviews, the successful candidate will be allowed to keep all products.

The advert, published by  OnBuy.com , states the company is willing to pay the successful product testers £40 an hour to review its products. The candidate’s owners will be required to take good quality photography and write an honest review detailing their experience, which OnBuy.com will upload to the product page.

Pets and owners will be required to thoroughly test each product, focusing on durability, comfort, suitability, safety, food ingredients and other qualities. Owners will be required to write a 200-word review, including high-quality imagery of their pet using the product. 

The company says it hopes the reviews will act as a benchmark for pet products on its site, and help owners pick the best item for their furry friends.

Four-pawed candidates must be in good health, comfortable in front of the camera and have impeccable taste, while owners must have good writing skills.

Cas Paton, founder and CEO of OnBuy.com said: “We have thousands of pet-related products on our site and who better to test them than pets themselves? We always aim to provide customers with everything they may need, and reviews are a crucial part of shopping decisions. We think the best way to get our customers the information they need when it comes to their beloved animals is with an official Pet Product Inspector! 

“Depending on what a pet owner wants for their furry friend, they will be able to read an actual review from another owner's/pet’s perspective, helping them to pick the best products for them. The majority of our pet products are for cats or dogs, therefore we are currently looking for those in particular, however if all goes well, hopefully we can hire other animals too.”
