My dobie is getting really scrapped up at daycare. I know she likes to play rough, but it's really starting to worry me that it might leave scars. Anyone know where I could get a tight fitting long sleeved shirt to protect her skin? Or have any other ideas?

what about squirting her coat with a little 50/50 listerine and water? We are doing this on our chihuahua as our dobe girl is continuously playing too rough with her, and she was getting all marked up, seems to be working, once she tastes the listerine on her coat she decides that its not so much fun biting her all the time. Its working for us, before this we were keeping her in pajamas all day but with the heat and all that was not comfortable for her.

IMO there shouldnt be that many marks. My dogs may occasionally get one but not to that extreme. I supervise play and I do not let it get that rough.

oh I supervise all their play, I'm on top of them constantly but those puppy teeth are sharp and I know shes not trying to hurt her, we even tried separating them for a bit but the chihuahua cries to be near her and she keeps coming back for more, she starts with her too, its just that the puppy teeth are way too sharp for our little chihuahua, no severe damage mind you, but she still leaves little marks that you can see on her little white coat.

You could try someting like a K9 topcoat, however, I'd be asking daycare for more supervision. I let my dogs play rough, wrestle, etc. but if one dog continually gets scraped up, then I need to intervene. It's too rough at that point.
