"Saved our dog’s life and my sanity. CoyoteVest helpdesk was very helpful and shipping was so fast, bringing relief to a new puppy situation who desperately wants to run free the solution we needed. Hawks and eagles had already noted her presence and I was at a loss as to how to provide her the joy in life we all wanted for her by being able to run and play freely and not always tethered to a leash."
"We are very happy with the quality of the product and feel it will protect our pet."
"We have the eyes on the hawk shield they were very easy to apply. Large Red tail Hawks live in the trees surrounding our farm. They have nabbed chickens so we have not let our puppy Chug out until we had her vest. Our first walk letting her venture leash free two hawks immediately spotted her. They did a fly over then came a little lower and immediately flew away and did not follow her. I am taking this as a huge win and affirmation that the eyes and vest work! We were able to stay out and let her run her puppy energy out and I felt safe and not worried. Highly recommend for small dog owners."
"I lost the love of my life back in May. He was 12, and coyotes got him right in my back yard. It’s the most devastating loss I’ve ever experienced, people and all. Almost as bad as losing him, was not sharing my life with a dog. So I adopted another (slightly bigger) little dog, and the first thing I did was research protection. I found the Coyote Vest. This thing not only is extremely well thought out and functional, easy to put on, really comfortable for him to wear, and offers real, serious protection. AND, it also just looks super badass. He looks like something out of Mad Max. People see him walking with it, and know immediately what it is, and what it’s for. In this area, it’s a must. I’d give this product 10 out of 5 if I could."
"Stuck them on the rear of the coyote vest. I have coyote whiskers along the center. When he walks, they bounce! A neighborhood pit bull (not an aggressive dog) barked and got upset at the whole outfit. We laughed and hoped that it will have the same effect on coyotes."
"integrates great with the vest-haven’t really field tested them yet but fingers crossed!"
"We love Marko's Hawkeyes, they keep the predators away and he looks hilarious, and he loves wearing them proudly on his spike vest. However, the colors wear off after only a few weeks, so we've had to order 3 new ones, and another 3 to have on hand."
"Coyote/hawk vest #1 product. We love them! Customer service went out of their way to help. Highly recommend!"
"I ordered the bully vest, whiskers, and hawk eyes for my 7 pound italian greyhound after some hawks were circling her. We just moved from a big city to the suburbs and have never dealt with birds of prey before, so we were scared that she would be taken by a large bird while out playing. She wears her vest with one set of spikes and the hawk eyes, and since then no hawks have been circling her. There was one time where a hawk was high up in the sky, but then left once seeing her. If we're playing at peak hunting hours (usually 3-5pm in our area), we also bring out an inflatable hawk eye ball, but otherwise we feel very safe having her out with just her Coyote gear on. We also plan to use it when we go to our home in Los Angeles where there are some coyotes at night. I also plan to add some reflective pieces of plastic to the vest to make her more visible at night! And I will also probably buy a hawkshield in the future too for extra protection. Also, one time a large golden retriever got off his leash in the area where my dog plays and started charging towards her with his owner running behind him. While I don't think he would have attacked her (probably was just trying to say hi), he stopped 10 feet away from her (assuming he saw the vest). I can't speak to how well it works during an attack (and pray that I'm never able to), but it definitely deters the hawks from circling her. Couldn't be happier with this purchase!"
"Purchased just the hawk eyes for my small biewer terrier. Look great. Bright and fairly sturdy.. Used velcro to attach them to his harness. Gives me some reassurance this will deter hawks."
