# Pop Star Pooch Parodies Katy Perry's 'California Girls' is Covered by The Pet Collective By Romina S. Cortellucci | Published 2012-08-22 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pet-collective References: [thefw](http://thefw.com/katy-perry-dog/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Cqrba2o8QWc) The Pet Collective has done an adorable canine cover of the 2010 summer hit [California Girls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dodger-dog-pizza). Luckily, Perry’s original song featured rapper Snoop Dogg prior to his recent conversion to Snoop Lion, so the legendary Snoop could be portrayed by a swagged-out pooch. Perfectly reconstructing the set of the candy-filled music video, this version is definitely not “ruff,” going so far as to even feature Perry’s explosive bra. The hilarious tribute to the pop star definitely has viral potential, already receiving over 70,000 [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskas-purrcast) views since its upload earlier this week. The California Girls video is just one of the many [pet-friendly renditions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-chaos) made by The Pet Collective. Other musical acts covered by the group include these year’s big summer stars Carly Rae Jepsen and British pop sensation One Direction. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pet-friendly Renditions:** Creating pet-friendly versions of popular songs and music videos can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for pet-focused entertainment companies. - **Canine Covers:** Producing canine covers of popular songs can be a unique and viral trend in the pet entertainment industry. - **Adorable Tributes:** Creating adorable tributes to pop stars using pets can be a popular trend in the pet entertainment industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pet Entertainment:** The pet entertainment industry can explore creating pet-friendly renditions of popular songs and music videos. - **Social Media:** The social media industry can benefit from the production and promotion of viral content like canine covers of popular songs. - **Online Video Platforms:** Online video platforms can attract more viewership by featuring adorable tributes to pop stars using pets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop Star-Themed Animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-swiftthemed-cats.md) - [Feline Boy Band Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meow-mix.md) - [Doll-Themed Dog Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-pooch-x-barbie.md) - [Celebrity-Inspired Cartoon Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katy-perry-1.md) - [Glam Pet Adoption Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-showcats.md) - [Pop-Up Dog Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unleashed-dog-park.md) - [Influencer Dog Treat Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/influencer-dog-treat-collection.md) - [Dog-Friendly Cake Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-celebration-cake-bites.md) - [Cosmetics-Themed Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawer-grip-primer-dog-toy.md)
