Guess I'll have to weigh if it's better to replace the lexan whenever we move out of this house, or have to resand/paint the door annually. At some point we'll run out of door to re-sand and have to replace it.
Any other ideas for sacrificial material to cover the interior side of the door to protect it from my dog?

Lexan is incredibly impact resistant. As in the GE reps will hit it with a hammer at shows to show us how resistant it is. However it does have a few downsides. It gets a yellow hue with age, it scratches, and its VERY moisture sensitive when being molded...
For what you are doing? I would use a piece of .040 aluminum, with a slight bend on the edges so they are pointed to the door, and not a catch hazard....
