        If it’s wet or snowy out, I throw down a town on my way out, so my dog has no choice but to step on a towel on the way in. Combine that with using a leash and she has no choice but to stop until I’m satisfied with her feet

        My sister-in-law does similar with a bucket of clean water, so she even gets dry dirt off, but that’s excessive.

        Humans have lived in filth their entire existence and whatever being tracked in, if it’s not visible, it’s cleaner than most of human history and it’s clean enough to not cause harm

        The two dogs I had were easily taught to wait on the floor mat right by the door. Once someone wiped their paws with a towel they would proceed forward. 🤷🏼

        A lot of people’s dogs are trained to wait inside at the door for their paws to get wiped down before walking into the house/apartment/whatever.

        But sure, if the dog did go walk outside with boots/shoes then yeah their owner would obviously take them off once they were back inside.

            I take precautions to minimize the amount of shit I’m exposed to. Tooth brush goes in the shower bag, which doesn’t live in the bathroom. Take my shoes off at the door, so I don’t get street shit in my house. You follow?

        Not mine, it’s separated from the toilet by a door and has a uv light. Not perfect, but not straight up doodoo

          The uv that destroys bacteria (uvc)will degrade toothbrush head extremely fast so… it’s unlikely your uv is anything but a gimmick to sell you something.

            Nah it’s real I’ve tested it. I replace my brushes monthly, no issues with breakage it anything.

            You don’t know shit about my life, quit assuming.

                Wut? Are you suggesting uvc test cards aren’t a thing? The fuck does Lemmy have to do with this?

                Seems like you’re just out here assuming all sorts of stuff

                  You said i “know nothing about your life stop assuming”, i said you are on lemmy, which proves you are wrong.

                  Idk what’s going on in your life but sorry you are going through it. Let me know if you need someone to talk to.

      Guess what, everything has poo and bacteria all over it.

      Your keyboard or phone are far more disgusting than any shoe. You’ll live sunshine.
