So I went on vacation last week and arranged for my dog to spend the night at my friends house. She has a dog that my dog loves to play with and is a responsible person so I thought nothing could really go wrong.

When I came home I noticed my dog had scabbing along his mouth and some light hair loss around his face and shoulders - I asked her about it and we basically chalked it up to their rough play style.

I'm trying to be cool about it but my dog looks like he's been through a war - I'm constantly finding scabs on his body from where the other dog scratched him (I noticed yesterday when I dog sat for them he has longer nails then I would have on my dog) and he has his puppy teeth still so they are pretty sharp so I'm thinking this is accounting for the patches of hair ( maybe one or two patches and the thinning around the face and shoulders)

My dog loves playing with his friend and gets so excited when I say we are going to his house and the play is very equally rough - am I over reacting? Is there anything I can do to make sure my guy doesn't become a patchy mess ?
