It's not hard to just keep either well away from coyotes.
Generally speaking, you're not walking either through the untamed wilds. If you've got a canine-rodent OR toddler on a leash, stomping through carnivore country, you should be eaten as well.
>keep your dogs inside forever always at all times for its own safety. >the alternative is making it wear this vest that looks silly but keeps it safe
If you, for even a second, value the looks of your dog over its safety and/or mental and physical wellbeing then give your dog up for adoption you insane narcissist.
>keep your dogs inside forever always at all times for its own safety.
Nobody said that.
People can walk their dogs without being swarmed by coyotes. It's just not very smart to let tiny dogs walk around in an unfenced area all alone in coyote country.
Pretty big difference.
They make these for chickens, too. We've got a shitload of hawks and I'm debating getting one for our roo who hates being contained in the run.
it's a predator deterrent that's supposed to look like porcupine quills I'm pretty sure.
If you have a dog that requires a hot pink STAY AWAY vest, you have a rodent.
the bright colors are supposed to signal that the animal is poisonous. They make these for big dogs, too. I've seen one on a sheep farmer's pyrenees and those things are definitely not anywhere near approaching small.
>I've seen one on a sheep farmer's pyrenees and those things are definitely not anywhere near approaching small.
That doesn't make them necessary. Or less ridiculous.
The color is so you can find your small dog when it runs into the Sonora. The spaghetti is a semi-rigid plastic that makes it hard to get jaws or talons around your small dog's head or back. The eyes on the second model posted are meant to deter aerial predators. They look ridiculous and are probably a bit uncomfortable for a small dog to wear but I saw quite a few in Tucson and locals swear by them so eh. Maybe it's an anti-tiger rock situation. There are also versions for cats.
Having it colored shit like hot pink or bright orange and having reflective stripes is so your dog doesn't get run over or shot, like with hunting gear. My huge American Akita has a bright purple/pink harness for the same reason and it helped the one time he snapped the metal cable on his leash lead(probably chasing something) and got lost
Stop being such an insecure homosexual, pink even used to be more considered a masculine color.
My cat was outside and was meowing at the door like crazy (she is very quiet in general).
So I rushed over to open the door thinking she was injured.
Nope.
She was standing there, proud as hell over a FRICKING ADULT OWL.
I reached down to pick it up and it jumped through the patio railing (third floor).
I looked over the edge and it took flight right before it would have hit the ground.
Cat stood there looking at me like "you dick".
I still can't imagine how she dragged this owl up the stairs that was as big as her.
Cats bring you live prey because they're trying to teach you how to catch your own prey.
They kind of think of us like big weird kittens.
>cat owners are proud their pests kill wildlife unnecessarily
wew lad
Yeah, that's irresponsible and dangerous for the cats too.
When my sister's cat went missing I immediately took my cat back from my parents and she has been an indoor cat since.
>pink even used to be more considered a masculine color
And a swastika used to be considered good luck. And people used to wipe their ass with a leaf. Just because people used to do it doesn't make it a good fricking idea in modern times.
It might be strayan, where they have those Magpies that have declared war on humans.
But if you have a small dog or cat, they are a snack for a large bird of prey.
I remember being outside with my cat in an open field and a big hawk swooped in and snatched a bunny half the cat's size, and he just looked at me and sprinted for home.

If I was that dog I would be very embarassed.
It's to protect against Coyotes, it literally says it on the side of the vest.
how about not having small shitty dogs?
or keeping it indoors and secured?
Would you keep a toddler indoors?

Would you let a toddler wander around outside alone in an area with coyotes?
yes
Don't be surprised if the dingo takes your baby.
my baby kicks ass
yeah covid19 is still around and still deadly

I get the color and the spikes, but what is the spaghetti for?

You might as well be walking a chinchilla with a corncob up your ass.

Or you just have a cool ass dog with power amour
Can it fit a tennis ball in its mouth? No?
You have a vermin on a leash in a stupid fricking vest.
no you don't, you have a chad dog that doesn't suck on balls like your dog does gay-dog haver
>chad dog
Whatever you say.
Hot pink is cool though.

You can get an orange or green one dumbass.
Isn't this just so pigeons don't land and poop on him?

Rabbits no longer eat my crops.

It's called a Coyote Vest, what the frick do you think it's for?
>Bro just read the barely illegible text
A coyote disguise.
It enables the dogs to twerk and pour shots
I want my name to be Spaghetti.
>let's see those pitbulls try to maul me now

He gets so much more control on the downhill with that spoiler though.
I'm sorry I forgot it isn't 2008 anymore. It was a Pokémon joke.
KICKASS!!
>cayote vest

It's probably just a troony signaling vest.

They're a /misc/tard, "TRANNIES!!!!" is one of only like five thoughts left in their politics rotted brain.
I thought you people liked being the center of attention everywhere always?
