"But the coyote collar saved his life."
Just wanted to let you know: my 20 pound rescue Chihuahua mix "Pinkman" was wearing the coyote collar last week when a coyote grabbed him by the neck. I heard a yelp and turned around to see Pinkman dropping out of the coyote's mouth on to the pavement. He was able to run safely to me. The coyote couldn't get a grip around the spikes on the collar. Pinkman has a problem with the neck portion of the coyote vest being a little too restrictive in his head movements. But the coyote collar saved his life. Mr. White wanted to be in the picture also, so he's modeling his coyote vest. **I'm recommending your product to all my fiends with small dogs!** Thanks!
**I am so thankful she is home, safe, and unharmed.**
I purchased this vest a few years ago. It was one of the best investments. A coyote tried to attack my dog. Fortunately, the spikes deterred the coyote and allowed my dog to escape. I am so thankful she is home, safe, and unharmed. Thank you for inventing this product!
Like many of the testimonials on your website, we too are always stopped when we are out with our 4 lb yorkie in his vest. I cannot tell you the comfort we get from knowing he's safe wearing it. We are in an area with many hawks and he is so tiny and susceptible, it was a major concern. The breeder, from whom we bought our baby, posted Sparky (our guy) in his vest on his instagram so that all those who follow them can learn how to protect their wee ones.
**I truly hope your company receives the recognition and awards it deserves!
Well DONE! **
**I owe you his life. Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you!**
Yesterday was the most frightening day of my life. My beloved Cosmo 8lb Affenpinscher was attacked by a large aggressive dog. We were in San Diego Fiesta Island dog beach. It came out of no where!! The dog attempted to grab him by the body as well as neck and could not get a grip on him. This happened in a heart beat. It gave me time to grab him and my husband kick the large dog off while the owner just sat there watching the vicious attack. Cosmo was in perfect shape. Not a scratch, bite or soft tissue injury. In retrospect I should have added his spikes and now will but it shows how good the product will work in the worse scenario!! I bought this vest years ago when I got him for insurance and yesterday it was worth every penny!! He is my child and the love of my life.
**She had her SpikeVest on and that dog stopped 10 feet away, stared for a few seconds and went home.**
I got the SpikeVest because my corgi was attacked by a shepherd about 3 weeks ago, which resulted in a deep puncture wound. I was so angry that I ordered the vest to protect her from future dog attacks and mauling. Tonight on our walk, another dog bolted toward us. She had her SpikeVest on and that dog stopped 10' away, stared for a few seconds and went home.
I just wanted to let the company know that my dog, Wylie, is alive today because he had his coyote vest with whiskers on. A couple of days ago we were on a walk. He was off lead and about 25 feet away from me. A coyote ambushed him and bit down on his neck. He bit the neck whiskers off. The coyote seemed confused as he stood over Wylie. I screamed and ran towards them yelling. He turned and went back into the sagebrush. Wylie ran to me. He is a 14 lb. Brussels Griffon. I've literally been sick over this encounter. **He's alive today because he was wearing his coyote vest.**
My husband and I are beyond impressed with your customer service. You are extremely prompt and responsive. We will tell you, though, our 9 month old kitten, Diego, will just have to grow into your smallest vest. We ordered x-small with whiskers and hawk eyes -- but he backed right out of it before we even left the house and it was affixed at its very tightest. We will try again, when he is a bit bigger. I am totally behind your product, the craftsmanship and the thought that went into it. Living in the Pac NW, you can imagine the many wild predator dangers. - Kim S.

**Worked**
Our dog was attacked today by two coyotes, with her vest on. The attack was vicious enough that 4 of the neck spikes were broken and are missing. She fought back. Gave us time to get to the dog, and pick her up and the coyotes backed away. Huge bite mark on the left rear vest area with saliva. Our dog was completely uninjured. Happy to be home. We are going to have to order another vest, as this one took a beating.

**Dog Attack Protection**
I bought this vest mainly for peace of mind after my dog was attacked pretty badly by another dog on a walk around our neighborhood. He was attacked AGAIN today by another out-of-control dog, but this time he was wearing his spike vest, and while we're both pretty shaken, he's physically uninjured. The other dog couldn't get good grip because of the spikes. I can't tell you how grateful I am that this product exists, there's nothing else like it. It possibly saved my dog's life, and at least spared him pain and injury. You've got a fan here for life, I'll recommend it to everyone. If there's ever a model with even more belly coverage than the spike vest, I'll be the first in line.

**CoyoteVest Review**
The vest has worked out awesome. Although it has yet to be tested on actual coyotes it has worked like a charm at the Dog Beach where overzealous big dogs can get a bit carried away with their smaller brethren. It acts as a deterrent as the larger dogs don't even know what to make of the crazy get up so they move on. It has also been a topic of discussion with many a random passerby at home and everywhere for that matter. All around it has worked out great in every aspect and last but not least it appears that it has possibly given our little guy a confidence boost similar I imagine to the Thunder Shirt, etc. A+++

**My 1 yr old punk**
My 1 yr old punk of a shiba decided it was fun to ram and bowl over her 6 lb yorkie brother when they were out in the yard together. While she never seriously hurt him, he wasn't able to relax and pee in peace. This behavior stopped immediately when I applied his vest. and now she leaves him alone.
**CoyoteVest Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️**
I purchased a CoyoteVest after my puppy was injured by her big "sister". The vest is true to size, very stylish and discourages our bigger dogs from playing to roughly.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My small dog has been wearing her CoyoteVest for about 2 weeks now, and it has been wonderful! About 2 months ago we adopted a BIG, 18-month-old puppy. My small dog really loves to play roughly, even with other big dogs. But my new big dog would get so excited she'd knock my little dog over several times. After a while, my little dog got annoyed and even scared by this. We ordered the CoyoteVest, and the first time my little dog wore it, my dogs were playing beautifully, then my big dog went to push my little dog over. My big dog immediately got a poke in the nose by the vest and backed off! She tried a few more times, and each time she got a poke. Within a few minutes, she quit trying to knock over my little dog and went back to playing energetically but far more gently. It has been that way ever since. Whenever my dogs are outside playing together (several times a day), my little dog wears her CoyoteVest, and my big dog respects her! The vest is easy to put on and take off, and the secure clips ensure that it won't come off if my big dog pulls on it. It's also super lightweight, which means she'll be able to wear it during the summer. **I'm so happy that we have the CoyoteVest!**

**My 1 yr old punk**
So far it has done exactly what it's supposed to. I just wanted to keep a very large cat from hauling a very small chihuahua around. It has done that and made me feel confident that she is safe now. Thank you coyote vest!!

When that hawk flew right down to my lil pup, I HAD to find something that worked. Honestly, after reading the reviews, I knew it was the right product for me. After receiving the vest, I realized that it was definitely a quality product that was worth the money. About two weeks after that, hawks were circling around the culdesac and I immediately panicked! Then I remembered the vest was on him and calmed down. I'm SO grateful that I've got that vest for him to wear anytime he's outside! I put a photo of him wearing it onto my social media and you wouldn't believe the amount of people that have had hawks and coyotes take their little loved ones!! They all asked where I got it and have ordered one. Thank goodness this exists!!! **Don't take my word for it...GET ONE!!**
**Thank You, Coyotevest!!!** Today your vest on my little dog saved him from serious injury from another dog that bit my dog on his back right where one set of the cluster of whiskers was. The other dog bit the whiskers off his back. I was nearby to scoop him up soon after, yet without this vest Loki would have suffered serious injury or worse.
It happened so quickly. Without warning.
One moment the other dog is friendly through the chain link fence, and the next it is opening it's strong, wide jaw and clamping down on my dog who was calmly hanging out with all of the other dogs at the park. There was no provocation, no barking, nothing except that the other dog may have some aggressive tendencies and he went for the smallest dog.
None of the other dogs (Huskies, Pitties, Rotties, Mastiffs, ...) responded negatively to my friendly, happy, social 10 pound dog in his orange coyotevest. He played, chilled and was comfy with the mix of medium to very large dogs.
This dog who attacked my Loki boy also acted aggressively to the large dogs and left the park immediately.
Best financial investment! You saved Loki suffering (death?).
And my nerves are calm because I did the best thing I could for my dog by putting him in one of your vests. Thank You!
I wish I could send you some photos. Coyote Vest, spikes and whiskers, I have the whole deal and it saved my Japanese Chin/Jack Russel mix, Mika. The coyote was running full tilt towards her, she knew it and there was no where to hide. And she knew better than to turn and run! There was no way I could get to her in time. It all happened in less than a minute. Coyote ran through the yard, I was watching her near the house. The coyote running full speed was between me and my dog but luckily she had on all her gear (coyote vest, spikes and whiskers). She saw it coming and ran toward me however the coyote was between us and then the coyote changed its mind and ran without hesitating into the ravine in front of her! Apparently, the coyote decided she was not a good candidate to attack and the attack was diverted. She came running as fast as possible to me and then barked her head off at the coyote. She was scared and knew it was a close call. She watch out the window for the coyote all morning, just in case.
Your coyote vest system saved her life! I know it. This is what I have been so worried about. I live in NE Ohio and the coyote population is booming. I hear them in the morning all the time but rarely see them. Mika had a close encounter once before that scared me whereby a coyote was within striking distance but she saw him and barked her head off and came running to me and I could scare him away...also just out of the ravine. The coyote was at a distance with barriers to contend with to get to her so he was sitting and figuring it out. I saw the Coyote Vest on a news broadcast discussing the increase of coyote in NE Ohio, read the website and knew this was for Mika.
It's been almost a year that she has been wearing the gear. We had our honeymoon period but she's accustomed to it now. She's about 20 pounds and is smart and agile but there is nothing one can do when a coyote comes a callin'. I had her wear the Coyote Vest system to the vet in January 2019 for her annual checkup and was told about a dog attacked by a coyote the previous day. The dog survived but needed emergency surgery. The vet called the owner of the injured dog to inform them of the Coyote Vest gear specifically after seeing it on my dog and reading the website. Today, I have a happy dog and uninjured dog as a result of the Coyote Vest gear. Thanks for sharing you pet protection solution.

A pack of three coyotes ran close enough to see the vest on my Jack Russell. They turned around and ran the other way! Saved her life! I’ve had mine for several years and it still looks like new.
**It’s a must**
**Save my dog**
I originally got the spike for protection from coyotes when I am out walking my small dogs. The spike collar saved my dog when large aggresive dog got away from his owner and went to grab my dog by the neck. That that dog got the spikes instead, Yelp went running back to his owner. I never walk my dogs without their spike collars. Not to mention they look like badass dogs!
**Saved my chi's life**
Few weeks after receiving and wearing the vest my chi was attacked by our neighbors lab mix in front of my house. He was bitten in his back leg the part not covered by the vest. The neighbor's dog could not bite him on the neck or stomach because of the vest. The incident could have been worse my chi could have been killed. Thank you Coyote Vest for this product you saved my dog's life.
So this actually happened this evening. This was the first time all four dogs had their vests on when I went hiking at our local, regional park today (we had to do an exchange on one of the vests, and the new one arrived today). I had just put their vests on, and as I was walking around the back of my car, a loose Boxer came running up the hill and attacked Coco (pink vest). The Boxer came in with such speed that he rolled her. I carry Spray Shield, an air horn, and pepper spray, but I wasn't able to respond right away, because I was still gathering all of my stuff together. Coco ripped the leash out of my hand and fought back. They were snarling, growling and biting each other. The Boxer's owner was finally able to corral her dog, and Coco was limping a little bit at first, but seemed to warm out of it. I think the vest saved her from a serious bite (all of the dogs are also wearing Coyote Collars for throat protection). She had no bite marks on her body. We have been hiking at this park for three years now, and none of our dogs have ever been attacked before. I think someone was looking out for us. Because you guys handled the exchange so quickly, Coco was able to wear her vest for the first time today. She needed this vest today. **Thank you Coyote Vest!**
**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful!!**
My dog Jasmine is okay with this vest but I am a huge fan! The fit is good and it comes off and on easily but MOST importantly, it has already saved her from injury. When leaving the house to walk her Saturday morning, the neighbor’s dog rushed out snarling and tried to bite her neck. After his teeth clanked into her spiked collar, he retreated and Jasmine was injury-free. She’s only had it a few weeks and she’s never been attacked before so the timing was especially wild! THANK YOU!!
Today was the first time I took my dog for a walk wearing his new coyote vest. I was having buyers remorse due to the price tag and then halfway through our first walk another small dog ran at my dog unleashed, hackles raised, bearing its teeth. As soon as it got close my dog it didn't know what to make of his bright colors and weird spikes and just stood there. Giving me enough time to walk away with my dog before anything happened. If this is the only time I ever used it to its full potential than it was **worth every penny.**
This is Jazz in his new Coyote Vest. A couple of days ago, it saved him from being hurt by a very large dog that figured he should maul small dogs at an off leash park. He left with a bleeding tongue and a wiser owner.
I just received a coyote vest for my little pal Ozzie and tried it out today at Dog Beach in Huntington Beach. I have to say that it seemed to completely stop big dogs in their tracks. You can almost hear the wheels turning in their heads as they are trying to figure out why they can't get up on or put their mouths on my 11 pound dog. My dog seemed more confident and I know I certainly enjoyed my time free from worry. Most people think it's a funny costume and so I had some great conversations about big dogs and little dogs and the real purpose of the vest. **Thanks it's a great product!**
We actually had an incident this morning that I want to share with you. I was out walking my pups and I heard yelling. I saw a large dog running up the street toward us. As it got closer, I realized that it was a large Siberian Husky. The owner was chasing it and yelling. As the dog approached, I pulled my little ones close (both in their Coyote Vests) and raised my stick as I yelled at the dog to get away. The dog stopped and looked at my dogs from across the street. The owner was trying to assure me that his loose dog was friendly (I've heard that before), but the dog kept his distance. As the owner reached for him, the dog took off on up the road. I am convinced that the dog stayed away from us because of our Coyote Vests and quills!
Just wanted to let you know: my 20 pound rescue Chihuahua mix "Pinkman" was wearing the coyote collar last week when a coyote grabbed him by the neck. I heard a yelp and turned around to see Pinkman dropping out of the coyote's mouth on to the pavement. He was able to run safely to me. The coyote couldn't get a grip around the spikes on the collar. Pinkman has a problem with the neck portion of the coyote vest being a little too restrictive in his head movements. But the coyote collar saved his life. Mr. White wanted to be in the picture also, so he's modeling his coyote vest. **I'm recommending your product to all my fiends with small dogs!** Thanks!
Today my dog's Coyote Harness saved him from serious injury. He was attacked by a neighbor's 2 dogs while on his run in our own yard. I bought the coyote harness after he was attacked TWICE on leashed walks. It has paid for itself. There is not a mark on him. **THANK YOU, CoyoteVest!**
**Coyote vest in action today:** my little cavalier Lenny saved by the vest when a shiba inu went straight after his throat, completely unprovoked. The other dog got a mouth full of spikes, backed off and ran away.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
**My toy poodle loves her vest!** It keeps our hyper collie puppy from getting to ruff (😉) with her. We also have a friend who has a German Shepard puppy. We put the vest on our poodle for protection. Their dog tried to bite our poodle (playing but still could have injured our poodle) and immediately backed off and left her alone. Now we dont need to isolate our little poodle when the big dogs are around. We still keep an eye on her even when she is wearing the vest. However, now if I can't get to her fast enough i know the vest will keep her safe until I can. Thank you for your dedication to keeping our cherished pets safe!
My big dog periodically became aggressive to my much smaller dog. **Bought the coyote collar for the little one and problem over.** Was so effective I am now ordering the coyote vest with body spikes for the protection of the new puppy we're getting in December. Still have the same big dog and even though she's now 10 I'm taking no chances.
Meet Marley. She's a 10.5 lb. Malti-Poo who identifies as a Pit Bull. She has been known to run at coyotes in an effort to chase them from our property. She's survived two coyote attacks and we decided to not push our luck any further and purchased the Coyote Vest. Marley likes it and she adjusted to it almost immediately. I feel better about her being off-leash on our 20 acre farm. **This was a much needed item!** I'm impressed with its quality. This completely protects the areas where she had received punctures during the worst coyote incident. The spikes are sharp and I think any coyote would drop her immediately if it tries to take her in its mouth.
Today my "over protectiveness" was more than justified after seeing a what I think was a very large, juvenile Bald Eagle circling *very low around our rural home, which are increasing in our area. **Thank goodness for Coyote/Hawk Vests** protecting our baby Lily Rose!
Coyotes on the increase here as well. Can't be too careful imo.
Our little Leonard in his super armour. We live in London so no coyotes here, but plenty of large misbehaved german shepherds with clueless owners and a bone to pick with my friendly, albeit very high energy little cavvie. Lenny has so far been attacked about 5 times in 6 years resulting in a broken jaw, loss of 3 permanent back teeth and although he's still a happy-go-lucky chap, he started getting nervous around large dogs making the situation worse. After the last scrap on this New Year's Eve with another Alsatian (scratched eye, chin puncture, once again unprovoked!) we decided to get the coyote vest. So far so good, weird dogs tend to avoid him because he looks so odd 😂. We can now all enjoy the walks and ball/squirrel chasing in the park with his older bro Minton with a lot more confidence! And even the bro got a taste of whiskers in his face the other day! **Thank you for creating such an awesome product for our little furry family members.**
We bought this vest for our 10lb, 13 year old, blind Boston Terrier because her sister (a much bigger dog) decided she was a chew toy. **It worked!** Her teeth did not penetrate the vest, saving little Luka from injury. We still keep them separate, but she wears the vest any time there might be an encounter
Tara West My husband laughed at my dogs when I got them these, but I believe this vest has **saved my Chihuahua at least twice now.** The day before yesterday when I was feeding my Labs and my Chihuahua slipped out and was barking at a coyote. The coyote ran off and my Chihuahua ran back home. I about had a heart attack. I imagine the coyote didn't know what to make of her. And then another time a few months ago when my neighbor's donkey got out and tried to trample her. Then there are the predatory birds that circle our house. We live out in the country, and my little dogs do not go outside without their vests.
One of my two dogs that your amazing Coyote Vests has kept safe all these years, has died of old age & passed away in his sleep of a stroke last Friday afternoon at the age of 18. He was an avid backyard explorer, squirrel chaser, lover of all things nature, & stayed that way even after he went blind & deaf in his final 8months or so. Your vest, without a doubt, allowed him to do so. No sight or audible cues, & no one around to help protect him from the litany of predators in a South Louisiana back yard- but he wasn’t hearing any of it & spent every afternoon of his last days waaaaaaay out in the back 40 of our huge yard utilizing the fence lines & beaten paths along with some scent & touch sensory input to navigate as he went. Your Kevlar CoyoteVest with hawk panel, spikes, & whiskers allowed me to allow him these beautiful freedoms before passing on & from the very bottom of my heart I thank you for your amazingly astute & capable & proven pet safety product. We’ve watched coyotes, bald eagles, hawks, & huuuuge Barred Owls just standing there staring down at him trying to figure out what the heck he was bc his scent no longer matched his visual & they were never sure they’d be able to successfully digest that bulletproof stuff either. 🤪🤪🤪🐺🦅🦉🦅😜😳😳 Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you, C.V. for helping ensure my sweet boy always had some fun in his final days. **Your product has saved the lives of my 2 babies** time n time n time again & I endlessly thank you for that. 🙏🙏🙏🐶🐶
**Well made,seems sturdy.** Has prevented further serious injury when squabbling with our other 8 dogs.
My dog was attacked by a bigger dog once. I could not protect her on time to end up badly hurt. It happens so quickly by the time you come to realize it's happening it's too late. I realized I needed the extra time to even use a bat or pepper spray on the aggressor. It's a very terrifying experience I decided to get the vest. I can see all details have been considered when building this vest. The plastic spikes are made so well they feel like real metal, they are not sharp to the touch but will easily hurt if another animal is attacking. It hurts enough to deter another attack from aggressor. Velcro is sturdy and easy to set in place. **I would recommend to anyone this purchase is a true investment.**
**The coyote vest saved my dog!!** On Friday morning, we were walking in an arroyo and Kermit (my dog, a miniature schnauzer) was off-leash. A small-ish coyote ran across the arroyo in front of us which activated my dog's prey instinct -- he chased after him. I was yelling his name and running after him, so scared he was going to run straight into a pack of coyotes. I couldn't see him, but I heard a small "yip" -- I couldn't tell if it was my dog or the coyote. I kept calling for Kermit and running looking for him. He came running up to me about 10 or 15 seconds later, wanting his treat for coming to me. I was so relieved to see him. He seemed unharmed, and I gave him a couple treats and put the leash on, walking away a little bit. I turned around to look back, and saw 2 coyotes watching us from about 20 or 30 yards away. I think if he had not had the coyote vest on, he would have been killed. I think the yip may have been a coyote nipping at him, and getting a spike.
Friday evening I was telling my husband the story, and he took a close look at the vest -- and we saw bite marks on one of the spikes at the back! We took a closer look at Kermit's back near the tail, and there was a small puncture. The coyote had taken a nip or bite at him, and maybe the top jaw got the spike, but the lower jaw did scrape him.
I am so relieved that Kermit is okay! I am SO glad I bought the vest. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
**I just wanted to say that this vest really works!** I recently got a puppy and took it to the dog park. A large German shepherd kept running over and flipping my puppy over and each time he would cry out. I grabbed the Coyote vast from my bag, put it on the puppy, and the next time the German shepherd came over it just sniffed my dog and walked away. Perfect!
**The CoyoteVest saved our dog's life!**
Our Whippet came face to face with a Coyote this morning. The Coyote went for her neck and it's tooth got caught on the neck strap and pulled it loose but saved her late! Thank you!
**This vest! Saved Brodie's life today.** I skinned my knee running and chasing after the coyotes - (yes I tripped over a rock and fell). one of the coyotes had him in his mouth and tried to run off with him. May have a puncture wound to ear and tail but no blood- my heart is finally beating normal again but Brodie is still shaking.
We purchased 2 more vest after originally owning one as we have had our small dogs (2 mini doxies and a jack russell) injured by our over zealous weimaraner and a relatives large dog. **The vest has already proven its value and protected the jack in a tussie.** We have had over $10,000 in vet bills and lost one dog due to sibling dog aggression.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
**Protects my little rescue**
My dog is a small submissive female. Twice while at pet stores dogs tried to attack her. We also saw that a couple of dogs were killed while owners were walking their dogs in our neighborhood. We put the Coyote Vest on her when out and about. A dog ran up aggressively at her, stopped immediately when it saw her spikes and backed off. We have noticed she is more confident on walks and in stores now. This is the best investment I have made for our little girl.
