Sure, but that wouldn't be a parody - it would be a completely different area of trademark law.
99% of trademark disputes are bourbon makers squabbling over who gets to put an eagle on their bottles, and oat milk makers squabbling over whether it's confusing that both products say 'oat' on them.
Questions of parody are a different area of law - no reasonable consumer could possibly confuse a dog toy with a bottle of whiskey.
