So, what better way to demonstrate this than by being willing to pay a dog owner to sniff their dog&#8217;s poop once they&#8217;ve switched to our brand of dog food?&#8221; Sivakumar said on the company&#8217;s website.\n<\/p>\n<p>Sivakumar said the company is seeking to confirm the reports by collecting data from the successful applicant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know that this is quite a peculiar vacancy, but we also know that this is the way for us to put our money where our mouth is and show dog owners that plant-based dog food could improve their dog&#8217;s stool, general health and digestive health,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Applications are being accepted on the company&#8217;s website through March 31.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British pet food company OMNI is offering to pay a dog owner\u00a0$6,685.82 to switch their canine to a plant-based diet and keep track of effects including the smell of the pet&#8217;s poop.
