How "heavy" is this trash can? My dog has begun tipping over the kitchen garbage and I am looking for one that is too heavy for her to tip over.

If she's a big dog then it's not heavy enough but medium to small dog, it would be hard to tip

This trash is solid but not very heavy, so I think your dog will tip this one over.

Not that heavy, if you have a big dog. Of course, you could put a gallon milk jug in the bottom filled with sand, or something like that. Then insert the garbage bag.

Yes, it is weighted on the bottom and taller than usual kitchen cans. You can also use glad or hefty bags on them although they do not reach the bottom if you do not want to purchase the special simple human bags

I have put this into a "dog-proof" storage bench, so there is no way it can tip over. Eli weighs 8.5 pounds and I can not see him being able to tip it over.

I actually use it on my kitchen counter and it stands very well on it's own.I haven't had a problem with it tipping over.

It's not all that heavy, but it is a hard plastic. It makes quite a bit of noise when dropped on wood floors. If you have carpet, it might be OK. My dog loves it, but I always have her play outside with it mainly because our floors are wood, and the noise would be bothersome for us. Wish I could help you more.

I've put my 3 poms in it and never had any problem/never thought it would tip over! I think it's pretty darn steady!!

I think that full trash cans would be too heavy for this unit. I think it is best suited to hold the usual patio stuff, like pillows, table cloths, etc. It holds a lot of those. We love ours.

How much does the dog weigh? I would not waste money of cage because my 60 lb dog broke several wires and can push door so handle opens. It lasted 2 months. They wont give my money back.

I would think this would be a little flimsy for a dog. I know my 15 lb dog would be overturning this in a minute.

My puppy is 3 lbs and she was able to knock it over. The thing is, I wouldn't care that she knocks it over, the problem is it collapses on the one side. Once the one side collapses the whole thing does and it is folded up on her. Your dog would have plenty of room. It is a nice playpen, it just needs to be more sturdy!

yes but you better weigh down the lid because a raccoon can easily open it; the lid is not screwed on, just kind of plops on top. Rodents like mice cant open it but with the help of a raccoon your dog food is history. Secondly, I don't know if it will hold 50 pounds of dog food; it's a large bin but the other thing to consider is the bottom is hollow; about two inches. I put some heavy things into it and it sagged; I was afraid it would rip the sides so I couldn't use it as intended. Then I put some thin bricks along the bottom and now it works ok. Best to get a screw on cap type with a ground level bottom. Third thing, the aluminum is not as strong like my dad's old trash can this one is kind of cheap and flimsy thin material. Hope this helps.

Ours is against a wall on wood floor. She can scoot it around, but has never tipped it. I am guessing that it would be possible if we let her climb on it (like completely on top of it). She has stood on the bottom shelf and not tipped it over. Under normal circumstances I do not think this would tip over.

Unfortunately my beagle mix got into it within 24 hours of putting it together. Day 1 left alone with it and she knocked it over, opened the lid, and has trash everywhere :(

Its very very heavy. It would not tip over. I have kids who play with it at times. Its not a problem. You would be happy with it.

Yes I believe it would be too heavy, but I also got a very light one when my dog was a puppy, and think it would be fine for your dog.

From my experience so far this thing is not easy to tip over - it's very wide on the bottom and narrows at the top (like a tent). Also, I had no trouble removing my cat. I would just open it and reach in and grab him. But it's big enough that you could get inside there with him to grab him if you really needed to.

I have this sitting my bed and sometimes I'll catch my cousin sitting on the middle part and she weighs a good 50-60 pounds and THANKFULLY the middle part has never broke or even bent.With her sitting on it she has never tipped it over, but it could also be where I have it sitting.I dont think a baby pulling up on it would knock it over, i just tried testing mine. It may move a little but shouldnt tip over.

well the can is pretty heavy and has a insert in middle of lid that comes loose to crush down trash . guess it would depend on how big the dog is . big dog could tip it over I think Med and small dogs no . insert is held in place magnetly. but lis does not lock
