The CoyoteVest: Patented Protection for Your Dog

The CoyoteVest was created out of necessity after our own tragic experience with a predator. This patented body armor is designed to slow down or prevent surprise attacks from coyotes, aggressive dogs, and birds of prey--giving you the critical time needed to react and save your pet.

Why Choose the CoyoteVest?

  • Stab-Resistant Armor: Side panels are reinforced with genuine DuPont™ Kevlar® to withstand sharp canine teeth.

  • Made in the USA: High-quality workmanship using a unique combination of ultra-durable materials.

  • Triple-Threat Defense: * Removable Spikes: Includes chrome neck and back spikes made of hard plastic—sharp enough to hurt a predator, but safe for you to handle.

    • Reflective Features: Stay visible during evening walks.

    • Accessory Compatible: Designed to work perfectly with CoyoteWhiskers and the HawkShield.

  • Weatherproof & Durable: Waterproof fabric with no metal parts to rust. Hand-washable and built to last.

Comfort & Fit

  • Highly Adjustable: Features an adjustable waist belt and collar with extra-long straps to accommodate various dog shapes.

  • Easy to Use: Designed for daily use—it's as easy to put on as a standard harness.

  • Leash Attachment: Includes a built-in D-ring for secure leash connection.

Sizing Guide

The back length is your most important measurement.

To get the perfect fit, measure your dog while they are standing (not sitting). Measure in a straight line from the shoulder to the start of the tail--do not follow the curve of the dog's back.

Size Back Length Weight Range*
Mini 9" 2 – 5 lbs
X-Small 10" 5 – 7 lbs
Small 13" 6 – 12 lbs
Medium 15" 10 – 28 lbs
Large 20" 25 – 55 lbs

Pro Tip: If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size. Still unsure? Send us an email support@coyotevest.com with a side-view photo and your measurements, and we’ll help you choose!

Complete the Protection

Care Note: Air dry in the shade. Fluorescent colors (like Orange) may fade over time in the sun, similar to high-visibility safety gear; this does not affect the vest's integrity.

Notes:

*XS, XXS vests have 1 row of collar spikes.

*Patent Number: US20180177155A1, #10264763, #9901074

Reviews

CoyoteVest

"We have 2 miniature dachshunds and in our area where we live we often see unleashed dogs, one time one of our dogs was attacked by an American Bully 😢 that's why we bought the vests, for our dogs safety but also for our peace of mind, that we are doing everything we can to protect them. The vests are light and easy to put on, good material and surely will help prevent any incidents. Thank you for making them 💗"

— Ramona M. (5/5)

She seemed very uncertain of

"She seemed very uncertain of it at first, but once adjusted she runs and moves freely, Eagles above were circling, but being driven away by crows, so no idea if it actually provided any protection, but I felt better letting her roam around knowing I had at least given my snack size dog a fighting chance."

Vest gives peace of mind and a few seconds to defend my dog

"The vest is very well designed and made. It fits my dog well, and it doesn't bother him at all. The vest covers the critical body parts, like the neck, chest, and stomach. I bought the vest because a vicious dog attacked my dog and was badly hurt. This vest gives me peace of mind and a few seconds to respond with pepper spray or other methods. Thanks for a great product."

— Thuy N. (5/5)

Easy to get on and off

"The Coyote vests are easy for my dogs to wear. I can get them on and off easily and they don’t mind wearing them. One of my dogs even got in bed with his vest on! I feel safer when they go in the backyard at night with their Coyote vests on, knowing that they are protected. The sizing is accurate to the measurements."

— Hannah S. (5/5)

Helpful protective gear

"My Beagle and I were attacked by a loose Pitbull last fall. I am afraid to walk her, so I walk with a friend, a stun baton, and my dog in her Coyote vest. I pray we are never attacked again, but with her vest, it should deter dogs from wanting to bite on the spikes."

— Ronnae M. (5/5)

My little porcupine

"He gets lots of comments and a few laughs but I don't care! He's safe and can walk much more freely! He even seems proud when he's out walking with me"

— Rhoda M. (5/5)

Q&A

Why do you not make the vest for larger dogs? I have a 75 lb Pit bull and a 140lb Mastiff.
At this time we have been concentrating on the dogs 2 lbs to approx 65 lbs depending on their measurements. We hope to make a larger size in the future. Check out our Spiked Collars for big dogs for protection on the neck.
I need to exchange the vest for a smaller size, what and how do I do this? Thanks!
Hi Mike, I found your order from the information you provided. We would be happy to help assist you with an exchange. We are sending you an e-mail, to the one provided with all the information to start this process.
Is it better to go slightly bigger or smaller when sizing? I have three chihuahuas all tiny and close to the same size. I am thinking xs to make sure it could fit all three?
Hi! It's better to go down a size. It's ok if it's 1-2 inches short, but you don't want it to be too big. We have more information on sizing if you check out our website :)
Hello, I noticed on your site the vest for cats states not to leave them alone. We live in the country and our cat has always roamed freely until he, thank goodness recently survived a coyote attack. He is now on a leash but not happy, can we use the spikevest for dogs and still allow him to roam around the area?
It's important to understand that the purpose of the CoyoteVest (or SpikeVest) is to slow down or prevent a surprise attack and give you time to react. If your pet (dog or cat) is left unattended in the presence of a dangerous predator -- and you're not there to intervene -- it's very possible the predator(s) will eventually figure out a way to succeed.
I have an 5-6 year old German Shepherd-Border Collie Mix who’s 90+ lbs and is a beautiful long-hair dog. Sadly since developing medical issues and it’s affecting his mobility and gait. He now seems vulnerable to me - whereas I didn’t worry so much in the past. Your size chart shows ‘Large’ as being up to about 55 lbs. Any chance you’ll be making ones for truly big dogs?
Hi, He sounds like a beautiful fur baby. We love all dogs big and small, but unfortunately at this time we only have stab-resistant vests up to large which is approx 55 lbs. You may be interested in our Spiked Collars for Big Dogs, as the neck is where most serious injuries occur.
