Author A said that some dog owners had filed a complaint with the management office demanding an end to the spraying of calcium chloride on the walking trail in the apartment where he lives.
According to Mr. A, dog owners say, “Calcium chloride burns the soles of dogs’ paws. He claimed that the dogs were hurting and told him to only spray on my driveway and not on the trails.
Mr. A said, “This is absurd. (Dog owners) said that there is no need to spray because the trails are flat and there are few people when it snows. “They asked if I would be responsible if the dog’s paws got hurt,” he said.
He continued, “I know you plan to let the dogs off leash and play on the trails when it snows, but that’s really selfish.” He pointed out, “The trails also get slippery when it snows, so what kind of civil complaint are you filing to stop spraying calcium chloride?”
At the same time, he complained, “After listening to the dog owners, the apartment residents are encouraging them to sprinkle plenty of calcium chloride on the walkways, and they are having a war of words with each other in the group chat room.”
Netizens said, “For dog owners who oppose, sweep the snow cleanly with a broom so it doesn’t pile up.”, “If you’re worried about calcium chloride, wear dog shoes.”, “”If an elderly person slips and falls while walking on a trail, it’s a fracture. I also have a dog, but people come first no matter what.”, “”Take care of dog poop.””, “”You can carry the dog to the area where calcium chloride was sprinkled, ride the dog in a stroller, or take the dog for a walk somewhere else. “It’s better than someone falling,” he frowned.
Some people said, “Calcium chloride can cause irritation to pets, so an alternative is needed.”
Meanwhile, calcium chloride, which is mainly used as a snow remover in winter, can cause direct damage to the soles of dogs’ paws. Prolonged contact may cause the soles of your feet to become red and swollen, and licking your feet while walking may irritate the mucous membrane of your mouth or tongue, resulting in diarrhea.
