Sorry but a vest won't do squat for a wolf. They are designed to protect against hogs not wolves. Wolves do not have tusks and do not attack from the ground up. If your dogs are starting trouble with wolves they will get some trouble. I have seen wolves in the wild and they were not scared of me at all but they did not come after me either. They are not mindless killing machines. If for some reason they decide to attack your dogs there is not much you can do short of shooting. I had one wolf come towards me and when I pulled out a gun he adjusted his path. He did not run but clearly knew what a gun was. So be glad people are hunting them to put the fear of people back into them. Maybe a cut collar and or one of those Aussie style plates for the front. If the dogs are big they will go for the neck and the rear like what was said. If they are small they bite the spine. The only sure fire way to keep them safe is to keep them inside with you. I would be more worried about cars. Cars get more dogs than anything.
