Guardian Petal: Fashion Forward Protective Dog Harnesses

Guardian Petal was born from a moment of terror and a deep desire to protect. My dog Mo, a gentle soul and my constant companion, was nearly killed in a violent attack by another dog. The memory of his screams and the chaos of that day will never leave me. Miraculously, Mo survived without a scratch, thanks only to the service vest he was wearing. That vest took the brunt of the attack, shielding him from serious harm. As someone who has spent a career in cybersecurity and threat intelligence, I know what it means to anticipate danger and build systems that prevent disaster. But nothing prepared me for the fear of almost losing Mo. That experience changed everything for me, and I knew I had to act—not just for Mo, but for every small dog at risk.

I poured my expertise in protection and prevention into designing Guardian Petal: a line of protective dog harnesses for dogs up to 25 lbs, including service dogs and beloved pets in urban areas. These harnesses are fashion forward, comfortable, and built with military-grade materials to defend against dog attacks, as well as hawk and coyote threats. What makes Guardian Petal unique is its humane approach—the harnesses are designed to protect without causing injury to the attacking animal. I’ve created 140 designs and am now ready to build the first set of 12 prototypes. Funds raised will go directly toward materials, manufacturing, testing, marketing, and getting these life-saving harnesses ready for sale by the end of summer. With your support, we can give peace of mind to countless dog owners and keep more pets safe from harm.
