"I am very happy with my purchase. It gives me peace of mind while walking my dog."
"We so appreciate our Coyote Vests for our small terriers! Our offense is about a 2, so we need 9. 5 defense! Now we have more peace of mind that our babies are protected from bigger dogs, and predators. Even in downtown Vancouver we’ve seen Eagles, coyotes and raccoons loose in our neighborhood. They fit so well too! In this pic they’re wearing their vests over their rain suits. Luckily the vests themselves are waterproof too with PNW weather! Thanks so much to the Coyote Vest owners and creators! Most sincerely, Laura and Tracy Bollin"
"Even the doggies know they are safer with the vest on. Thank you so much."
"He looks like a little bad ass and hes safe from the coyotes and foxes that live in our backyard."
"Whiskers hold on great and I have no regrets adding these on. The dogs don’t even notice from on there and they just give that little bit more confidence in their safety. They were easy to put together following the instructions."
"My house outside of Chicago backs up to a nature preserve, which is great…except for the coyotes. I have a fenced yard, but they can climb fences. In warmer weather, I walk the yard with a flashlight & my 2 pups anytime between dusk and sunrise. I needed a better solution for winter. Built a smaller enclosure around my patio with lighted temporary fencing and put these Coyote Vests on my little ones when they go out. I set the lights to blinking, so that it’s easy for me to keep an eye on them from the door, and to deter predators. I’m sure I like the vests better than Tiller or Birdie do…but they've adjusted well to wearing them. I feel better with them having a layer of protection on."
"Excellent quality"
"I purchased a coyote vest for my Havanese about 2 months ago. I was concerned there was a fit issue as my Dog really dislikes the vest. Communications and photos with Coyote Vest confirm it is a good fit. Im not sure what the issue is but my dog absolutely HATES the vest. I have tried to ease him into it and have given him 2 months to “adjust and acclimate”. When he is in the vest He walks with his nose to the ground to get away from the collar construction. He is unable to turn his head to the side or look back. He cowers when it is time to go for a walk as he is so adverse to the vest. At this point, I will just have to commit him to always being leashed for our walks. The vest is clearly well made but my dog just wont tolerate it."
"I thought about getting these a few years ago when I was out one night with one dog and my headlamp caught two yellow coyote eyes looking at us from behind a bush. The coyote was silent, and had I taken a few more steps, he would have grabbed my dog. I was lucky that night. I went to the Coyote Vest website, and almost bought the vest, but held off. Recently, I heard about a neighbor whose dog was killed by a pack of coyotes who grabbed the dog as she was walking out of her garage. The next day, I bought 2 Spike Vests. The vests are light weight and my dogs don’t mind wearing them at all. The velcro straps are so easy to work with. I also bought 2 sets of “Whiskers” and “P-Lights”. I’m thrilled with everything. I looked at the quick “how-to” videos on the website and they were great and helpful. I went back to the website a week later and bought the clips for hanging them (a VERY helpful solution for where to put the vests when not in use). My 6lbs dog is wearing an XS and my 10lbs dog is wearing the Small. I still leave the house with rocks in my pockets, and a whistle around my neck (I’d prefer to scare a coyote away from a distance), but I feel so much better knowing that if a coyote got close enough to grab, he’d have to first get past the whiskers and the spikes and the puncture-resistant fabric."
