# Slip-On Dog Parkas These Parkas Were Designed for Pets with High Energy or Mobility Issues By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-12-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-parka References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214146594/the-5-second-dog-parka-the-best-dog-parka-ever-mad?ref=category_popular) & [worldofangus](https://worldofangus.com/) This coat is described as a "5-second dog parka' due to its simple application process that does not require effort on the part of the owner or the dog. The dog parkas were designed and made in Canada -- a country with residents that understand the need to keep their pets warm in the winter months. The coat is designed in a way that does not require pets to lift their legs and be zipped up into it, a feat that can be made quite difficult for [older pets with mobility issues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-power-assistive-exoskeleton) or ones that have a lot of energy and do not tend to sit still. The parka is simply slipped on over the pet's head and then clipped over their belly for simple use. These functional dog parkas work to ease the life of pet owners who live in cold climates. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Easy-application Pet Clothing:** Opportunity for disrupting the market for pet clothing by designing easy-to-use clothing for pets with mobility issues. - **Functional Winter Pet Clothing:** Opportunity for disrupting the market for winter pet clothing by designing functional clothing that addresses the unique needs of pets in cold climates. - **Minimalist Pet Clothing:** Opportunity for disrupting the market for pet clothing by designing minimalist clothing that only addresses specific needs, like warmth, without unnecessary complexity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Apparel Industry:** An opportunity for companies in the pet apparel industry to create specialized, easy-to-use clothing for pets with mobility issues. - **Pet Supplies Industry:** An opportunity for companies in the pet supplies industry to develop and sell functional winter clothing for pets in cold climate regions. - **Manufacturing Industry:** Opportunity for manufacturers to create clothing with designs that only address specific needs, like warmth, and simplify the process for pet owners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Winterized Active Dog Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insulated-dog-jacket.md) - [Heated Dog Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-dog-vest.md) - [Practical Children's Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miles-the-label.md) - [Supportive Senior Pet Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steady-walking-aid-for-dogs.md) - [Minimal Extreme-Cold Parkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asgard-down-parka.md) - [Protective Workwear Dog Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-chore-coat.md) - [Intelligent Canine Exoskeletons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-power-assistive-exoskeleton.md) - [Connective Canine Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-park-app.md) - [Canine Rehab Exoskeletons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-power-assistive.md)
