the testing department is hiring.

We need dogs who get properly dirty. Trail mud, beach salt, canal water, whatever that was. You test the products on your dog, you send us the evidence, we put your dog on the roster. We send the kit out free. No experience necessary.

the job

what the work involves.

  • Use the products on your dog the way you actually would: after the walk, after the swim, on the way home. Not staged.
  • Send photos or clips of the mess and the fix. Phone footage is the point; we are not after studio work.
  • Tell us straight when something doesn't work. That is the entire reason the department exists.
  • Let us use your dog's photos on our socials and site, credited to you.
the terms

what the department provides.

  • The kit, free. The dirty dog box, sent out before anyone can buy it. Yours to keep, however the testing goes.
  • Early access. You test before launch, and what you tell us changes what ships.
  • Founder pricing, locked. The first-500 rate on everything after that, permanently. Refills included.
  • Your dog on the roster. A place on the department wall and an introduction post on our socials, linked to your handle.
  • A direct line. You talk to the people making the thing, not a support inbox.
  • No salary. It is an unpaid position at a company that doesn't exist yet. The dog is compensated in product.
apply to the department.

Takes two minutes. We read every one. Moose reads none of them.

optional, no follower count required
the filthier the better. we are not judging the photography.
the kit is on us. see the terms.

the equipment

the kit you'd be testing.

The dirty dog box, in full. Final formulas and packaging can still change before launch. That is the point of the department.

the dirty feet foam

the dirty feet foam

Pump onto four muddy paws, the brush head works it in, wipe it off. The first thing to get clean after a walk.

the no-bath bath

the no-bath bath

Spray on, rub in, wait 60–90 seconds, wipe away. Lifts the dirt and germs off the coat. No rinse, no sticky residue.

the funk fix

the funk fix

A light spritz to knock the smell back between cleans. After-care, not a cover-up. Keeps the coat and the car liveable.

the wipe-down

the wipe-down

One glove, five fingers, for the grubby bits between cleans: eyes, ears, muzzle, paws. Use it, bin it, done.

the mitt

the mitt

Works dirt and loose fur out of the coat, doubles as the everyday brush-down. The one that lives by the door.

the dirty dog box

the dirty dog box

The whole range in one box by the door. This is what arrives, free, when you make the roster.

before you ask

questions from applicants.

do i get free product?

Yes: the dirty dog box, free, before launch, yours to keep whatever you make of it. After that you keep founder pricing on everything, permanently. What we ask in return is honesty and a few photos, not a review.

does my dog need a following?

No. We are choosing for mess, coat variety and location, not reach. A muddy dog with 40 followers is more useful to us than a clean one with 40,000.

how much work is it?

A few photos a month and an honest opinion. If it starts feeling like a job, you are doing more than we asked.

when do you decide?

We review as applications come in and fill the first twenty before launch. If you are in, you hear from us directly. If the intake is full, you stay on file for the next one.

or just watch from a distance

not applying? get first dibs anyway.
