"The spikes are fine. Since the vest has years in it yet, it’s unfortunate that I had to order the spikes as a replacement for the set that were lost due to the Velcro wearing out. It won’t be easy, but I will be sewing the corners of the spike strips to the vest so as not to lose them again."
"I got two of them, back in 2020 and I used them every day for my puppies They love having them on, because they are light and it’s like a shield for them, well made, durable and fit them perfectly. Luckily they never have to worry about getting attacked by wildlife but it’s all over the place in my neighborhood because we live by a lake, I ordered a couple of replacement items because the Velcro was wore out and they sent me a quick replacement item with an extra spike collar. Super nice, I had a good experience with them and I highly recommended them, only if you love your puppies, of course 🐶"
"Such a relief for me when my dog has this on when we go on hikes. He’s off leash and happily exploring. A good deterrent for coyotes!"
"The Coyote Spikes vest with the Velcro spike system is an outstanding product that delivers exactly what it promises—real protection and peace of mind. The vest is well-made, durable, and thoughtfully designed without restricting my dog’s movement. It fits securely and stays in place, even during active outdoor adventures. The Velcro spikes are a game-changer. They’re easy to attach, stay firmly in place, and add an extra layer of deterrence that truly makes a difference. I appreciate that the spikes are removable, allowing flexibility depending on where and how we’re using the vest. What I love most is the confidence this product gives me. Knowing my dog has an added layer of protection against predators lets us enjoy hikes, training, and outdoor time with far less worry. High-quality materials, smart design, and clear attention to safety—this vest is worth every penny. I highly recommend Coyote Spikes to any dog owner who spends time outdoors and wants the best protection available for their dog."
"We live in an area densely populated with coyote. Our girl is about 35 pounds and definitely a lover not a fighter. She has a coyote vest, collar and throat guard. She is usually in her vest and throat guard, but sometimes just collar, depending on the situation. Very well make product; kevlar material and high quality velcro. Feel much safer when we're outside!"
"I bought this pink coyote vest for my dog and it is hands down one of the best safety product we own. We walk with coyotes in the neighborhood and I wanted extra protection from coyotes and bigger dogs. The vest is secure, well made, and surprisingly comfortable for my pup. She moves easily and does not try to take it off. The spikes are no joke. And we even got the hawk eyes and plastic pink spikes for the prey. I feel so much more confident letting her explore without constantly worrying. Also, the sizing guide made ordering simple and it fit perfectly."
"I bought this for my 5lb 15 year old chihuahua. She loves to run free around our complex, but doesn’t hear well anymore or see well. We have spotted some coyotes on our property during daylight hours so I bought this for piece of mind. Not only does it keep her safe and keep mama’s mind at ease…she gets so many compliments on how cute she looks in it. She has worn sweaters and jackets since I adopted her at 1 so she isn’t bothered at all. It’s also nice because I can fit her harness over it for extra safety. The customer service is exceptional as well! Our extra strip got lost in the mail and you guys sent her a new one at no charge as well as a whistle!!!!! So awesome! I have shared your product with many friends and some have bought one also. The material can also double as a raincoat as well! Love it. I also love the story behind how these were created and that they are local in San Diego. I am born and raised in Oceanside. Love supporting local businesses. Thank you for putting my mind at ease with these awesome products. 💜"
"Gives me more peace of mind with all the coyotes jumping fences for pets inside!"
"My Bear is a little guy from a rehoming situation. He’s my 3rd dog but my first littles. He’s weighs 4#s and I was worried about him as we camp frequently. I wanted to protect him as best as I can. Hence the Hawk vest. I bought the smallest size there was available. It’s still too large on him but it works to keep him sage."
"My husband was walking our !12lb Yorkie on a short leashed harness and was attacked by a coyote. He pulled up on leash at last second and our Leroy flew up into his arms. Coyote reversed course and came back at full speed for dog and instead clipped the back of my husband's leg and down hubby went. Took his knee out and coyote came back again and again snarling and snapping. This was terrifying. The vest has allowed us to gear down a notch with fear and ease of mind. Still careful, just not completely paranoid."
