We have decided to get laminate flooring put down as our dog wees and poos on the carpet thinking of would be easier to clean up. She has also dug at the carpet by the door and has ruined it. However, my friend has said that their laminate lifted with their dog weeing through the night. Am worrying now have made a mistake.
What flooding have others got down please? Can't afford Kardean

OP does not need doggy daycare. Best the puppy gets used to it now if it's always going to be that way. People had dogs for a long time before doggy daycare came along and they were perfectly fine!

But it isn't fine because the OPs floor is getting destroyed and they now risk spending a lot of money on a new one to have exactly the same problem.

If it was 'fine' and OP bought into 'leaving a dog all day won't harm it' for them there is still a big problem with constant peeing and pooing on the floor otherwise they wouldn't have started this thread.

As others have said including me the new flooring will still be damaged if the issue isn't stopped. Doggy daycare is a way to solve it and also comes with added benefits of having an option if they want to leave the dog longer or need boarding as lots do both. Daycare is I suspect a lot cheaper (and less stressful) than new flooring only to need it replacing again.

I'm sorry to have to say it, but a puppy should really not be left unsupervised in the house. You wouldn't leave a human baby and you shouldn't leave a puppy.
Ditch the puppy pads.
You have to undo,the habit puppy has developed of peeing in the house. Use a puppy lead/house line, take puppy outside after every meal, every time it wakes from a nap, and at least every two hours. I have stood outside, in winter, for an hour at a time with one puppy, it was cold, but you just need to put a coat on.
