The companies have teamed up to release a pair of pool floats designed specifically for pooches, giving owners an adorable and Instagram-friendly way to chill at the pool with one's pup. FUNBOY is a summer apparel company that sells, among other things, stylish pool floats. The BARK and FUNBOY collaboration features slimmed-down versions of two of FUNBOY's most popular products: the Retro Convertible and the Yacht. The doggie versions can be purchased on their own or in tandem with the human-sized floats. The dog floats have been engineered with puncture-resistant vinyl to keep them intact in the case of sharp nails, and they're safe for dogs weighing up to 70 pounds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pet Pool Floats:** Innovative pet products targeting social media obsessed pet owners - **Collaborative Branding:** Opportunities for luxury and pet brands to collaborate on high-end pet accessories and products - **Pet Entertainment:** Innovative products that target the increasing demand for ways to entertain pets at home and on social media platforms ### Where This Applies - **Pet Industry:** Opportunities for pet brands to develop new luxurious pet products to target pet owners who want to include pets in their activities and share the experience on social media - **Luxury Industry:** Luxury brands can expand into high-end pet markets by making partnerships with pet product companies and hold collaborations - **Home Entertainment Industry:** Innovative products in the pet entertainment market to target pet owners' desire for more efficient and exciting ways to keep their pets entertained ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Cabana Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-cabana-bar.md) - [Film-Celebrating Pool Floaties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funboy-x-barbie-the-movie-collection.md) - [Vibrant Seltzer-Backed Floaties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truly-x-minnidip.md) - [Dog-Friendly Airlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airline-for-dogs.md) - [Waterproof Dog Tug Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tug-e-nuff.md) - [Collaborative Dog-Focused Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-1.md) - [Pet-Specific Clog-Style Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-2.md) - [Brewery-Backed Dog Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewdog-1.md) - [In-Hotel Human Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plufls.md)
