> will you continue paying doggie day care out of consistency for her, or will you stop?

In that situation I'd probably continue but cut back. I've always paid for classes, private training, and other enrichment activities for her so this wouldn't be any different.

> Because if you stop, you're taking away someone and somewhere and maybe several other animal friends who she's formed an attachment to. For your own needs.

Parents do this to their children all the time. Should parents not move to a new city because their children would be cut off from their current friends?

> it's no different to dumping a child in boarding school

No, it's no different to dumping a child in public school or daycare. They get taken care of while I work and when my work day is done I can spend time with them.

> I think doggie day care is a sign of a society in ethical decline.

You've made a number of comments about doggie day care being immature or a sign that society is declining but you've never made a coherent argument for why that is. What is immature or unethical about wanting my pet taken care of when I'm unavailable, planning for that, and paying someone for the service they provide?

If anything, it's a sign of the opposite. Before, people would just leave their dog at home all day regardless of the impact to the dog.

The fact that more people are now willing to spend money (and time to get the dog to daycare) so that their dog isn't left home alone is unarguably more ethical.
