Dog Vest Shield Accessory with Three-Layer Aramid Construction and a Detachable Back Attachment

This dog vest shield accessory adds a lightweight, three-layer DuPont™ Kevlar® panel over the back of a compatible CoyoteVest or SpikeVest. Designed to help reduce the risk of talon punctures from birds of prey, it attaches to a separately purchased vest rather than being worn on its own.

The attachment is designed to hold the shield in place while allowing it to detach if a bird attempts to lift the dog by the shield. Its upper attachment platform lets spikes and accessories be reattached. Choose the same size as the vest you already use; the vest, CoyoteWhiskers and HawkEyes are sold separately.

• Lightweight design is intended to preserve comfort and mobility.
• Detachable attachment is designed to release under a lifting attempt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this dog vest shield be worn by itself?

No. This shield must attach to a CoyoteVest or SpikeVest, which is purchased separately.

Which shield size should I choose for my dog's vest?

Choose the same size as your compatible vest. The shield comes in Mini, Extra Small, Small and Medium.

How does the detachable shield attachment work?

The shield attaches to the vest with Velcro designed to hold it in place and release if a bird tries to lift the dog by the shield. This design does not guarantee escape or prevent every injury.

Can I reattach spikes and other accessories above the shield?

Yes. The shield repeats the vest's upper attachment platform so spikes and accessories can be reattached. CoyoteWhiskers and HawkEyes are sold separately.

Will the shield's color change in sunlight?

The shield's color topper may fade in sunlight, and fluorescent orange can fade faster. The underside is yellow, which can also make it look slightly different from a yellow SpikeVest.
