The ultimate protection for small dogs from birds of prey!

Birds of prey regularly hunt small animals

They won't distinguish between a wild creature and a beloved pet!

An extremely fast dive makes it

 impossible for a small pet to avoid an attack

 or for a human to react in time.


Birds of prey typically grab their prey by the head, 

making avoidance of the attack all the more important!!


Although pets heavier than 20 pounds cannot physically be

 picked up by most birds of prey, small pets are often

 harmed or killed by birds attempting to take them.

THE SOLUTION: The Hawk Star Pet Protection Vest

 The reflective material of 

The Patented Hawk Star Vest 

confuses birds and, in essence, makes the

 small pet invisible to birds of prey.


The light reflected from its holographic

 surface is menacing to birds. 

The bird of prey will not see the pet as prey. 


The iridescent material shimmers and shines

 in the sunlight, startling, disorienting,

 and confusing birds of prey. 


The protection is based on the science of bird vision.

Nature also uses iridescent colors for protection

Predator Deterrence

"In some species iridescent colours produce bright flashes of colour that might briefly startle a potential predator...or inhibit the predator's ability to judge the exact position of prey" "...the multilayered arrays that produce iridescent colours can reflect a great deal of incident light at certain viewing angles, creating glare that can flash on and off. This bright flash of colour can function as a startle display, whereby potential prey surprises a predator by quickly changing its colour, posture or behaviour."

"This garment is an amazingly simple and effective deterrent that harms neither hunter nor hunted "

  "I have spent over 10 years studying and working with large birds of prey in the wild -- including wild spaces that are adjacent and even flow through areas in which we live with our beloved companions and pets. This garment is an amazingly simple and effective deterrent that harms neither hunter nor hunted. What easier investment can you make that will have a greater impact on the safety and security of your best friend?... Awesome job. Thanks for never giving up on this idea. I hope everyone takes advantage of what you've created here." Robert Rogers

"This is a brilliant product! I recommend it to my clientele..."

"One of the worst calls I can receive as a behavior specialist, is a client witnessing their Chihuahua or small breed dog being carried off by a hawk. Unfortunately, it happens more frequently than you would expect. One of our clients had two very large bully breeds and a Chihuahua, and one day on a walk a hawk literally took the Chihuahua even though the other dogs were right there. Obviously this was very heartbreaking for my client, it is something you cannot forget. Other clients have also told me about their experiences with hawks and small dogs. I too have a Chihuahua, and until the Hawk Star Vest, I used to walk out into the yard with her like a bodyguard. I would not let her stay out too long even with me & the other dogs there to protect her. It is a big relief knowing that this vest messes with a Hawks vision, and Peanut can walk out in the yard without having to worry about birds of prey. This is a brilliant product! I recommend it to my clientele because anything that will protect our dogs from predators is worth having in your dog's wardrobe! I definitely give this product a big paw high five."

"Knowing my little dog can wear something to protect him from such attacks gives me peace of mind"

 "I live in Central Texas and I love the wildlife but I do love my 4 pound dog a lot more. Knowing that birds of prey are capable of targeting my dog terrifies me. Especially after hearing of a recent incident just last month, where a little dog was found to have been targeted by a large bird. The vet verified injures on this small dog to be from a predatory bird. Luckily the dog was not taken but clearly the attempt was made.  Knowing my little dog can wear something to protect him from such attacks gives me peace of mind" Liz C.  International Companion and Wildlife Activist  

"WHAT IF THERE WAS A PROTECTIVE VEST FOR SMALL DOGS DESIGNED TO PREVENT AN ATTACK FROM A HAWK/OWL?"

 "East Mountain Pet Alert has learned that there is a lightweight, easy-on and easy-off vest, that does just that, called the Hawk Star! The iridescent pattern on this remarkable product disrupts the raptor's ability to see his target during the day. A flashing light on the vest does the same at night with owls. And it does more than protect from raptors. The reflective surface will allow your pup to be seen by drivers, day and night. 

Tom Smylie, Master Falconer, who has given many demonstrations with his Peregrine Falcon at Wildlife West in Edgewood, was a consultant on the creation of this vest. 

Please share this site with friends who have small dogs, especially those who have recently moved to our East Mtn communities!  Many newcomers do not realize that they absolutely must take extra precautions to protect their small dogs.
