Product testers

Try it free. Then tell us on video what you really think.

We send new products to Aussie pet owners, free. In return, you film a short video on your phone about how it went at your place, the good and the bad. Your video helps us fix what's not right, and shows other pet owners what to really expect.

What you get

  • The product, free, before anyone else can buy it
  • Posted to your door, anywhere in Australia
  • A real say in the final product. What you tell us changes what we make

What we ask in return

  • Use it at home, the way you normally would
  • Film a short video on your phone telling us honestly how it went, the good and the bad
  • Show the spot, your pet, or the product in use if you can. Photos welcome too
  • Let us share your video, labelled as from a tester who got the product free

How it works

  1. Apply below

    Tell us about your pets, the mess you deal with, and that you're happy to film. Two minutes.

  2. We match you to a product

    When a product suits your home, Sammy emails you and we post it out, free.

  3. Use it, then film it

    Live with it for a couple of weeks, then send us a short video of your honest thoughts. Photos welcome too.

The deal is simple: the product for a short video

You get the product free. What we ask for is a short video of you talking about it in your own words. It doesn't need to be polished and it doesn't need to be glowing. Real people showing real results are what other pet owners trust, and they tell us more than any form ever could.

  • Film it on your phone. No editing, no script, 30 seconds to two minutes is plenty
  • Tell us what the problem was before, what you did, and how it went
  • Show us the spot, your pet, or the product in use if you can
  • Say what didn't work too. The honest version is the useful one

Some of our testers

Real pets in real homes, trying our products before launch.

Apply to be a video tester

It takes two minutes. Sammy reads every application and gets in touch when a product suits your home. You'll need a phone and a willingness to talk to it for a minute or two.

What would you be happy to test?

A photo or two of your pets helps us match you to the right product. Email them to tester@aussiefurbaby.com.au

Honest means honest

We never ask testers for a good review, and we never ask for a review on Amazon or anywhere else in return for a product. We want the honest version, including what didn't work, because that's what makes the next batch better.

When we share a tester's video or words, we say they were a product tester and that they received the product free. We'll tell you where your video is going before it goes up.

Nobody knows a pet product like the person cleaning up after the pet. I read every application myself.

Questions

Does it cost anything?

No. We send you the product free.

Do I have to say nice things?

No. We'd rather hear what didn't work. An honest video is worth far more to us than a glowing one.

Do I have to film a video?

Yes, that's the deal. You get the product free, and in return you film a short honest video on your phone about how it went. No script, no editing, and nobody expects polish. If the file is too big to email, tell us and we'll sort another way.

What happens to my video?

We may put it on our website and social media so other pet owners can see a real result, always labelled as from a product tester who received the product free. We tell you where it's going first. We never ask for an Amazon review, and we never ask you to say only nice things.

Who can apply?

Anyone in Australia with a dog or a cat.

How do you choose testers?

We match each product to the homes it's made for, and we spread testers around the country. Photos of your pets and your location help us pick.

What do you do with my details?

We only use them to run product testing and to contact you about it.
