I need a trash can that you must use the foot pedal to open. I have a dog that likes to open the lid and snack.

The black lid is thin and when closed is flush with sides. Very hard to open. You have to slide your fingernail under lid to grip it to open. Your dog won't be able to open unless he can step on the pedal!!

Yes, it is very possible. I bought this can and my dog has managed to tip it over and get into it still. I came home once and the lock was still in place but the lid was open and yep...trash everywhere.

There is a big wheel in the middle for the hose and the bottom is not solid, but has like an x-shaped bottom. Too expensive for a poop box, in my opinion. Get a metal trash can with a lid - small ones are $15 at most feed stores.

Yes, there is a small lever that keeps lid open, nice feature for removing or adding bag.interior can may also be removed, highly recommend this trash can

I purchased the square one. I didnt need some so big. I would take measurements, height and width. The hole on top is smaller than a regular garbage can. So that might be a little problem. I think you are going to try to close the lid by screwing it on. Only makes sense but I think that is a problem of its own cuz screwing the lid on will also turn the garbage bad. Good Luck

Yes. You just hold down on the pedal with your foot and it stays up no problem. We are very happy with this trash can.

I currently use a simplehuman 30L step can and it works great - it has a piece that holds the bag in place even when you open the trashcan to insert a diaper! any round kitchen trash can would probably work well.

The lids open when you step on the pedal at the base of the trash can so, as long as you are pressing on the pedal, the lids stay open.

I use the 30 l can for Dog-food.I do have a smaller trashcan madre by Simplehuman, it is round and comes with liner-bags.

Thats the best part of using the poop hound. Just use the plastic bags that you get from the grocery store

Yes you have to step on the pedal to open it. I purchased it because I have a dog that I don't want getting into the trash. Works just fine and it looks nice.

Two wheels on the back end (opposite side of the foot pedal to open the lid)

I have a toddler, not a dog, and it took him about a year to figure out how to open it, if it's any help.. it's the only lockable garbage can I've found.

The scoop that comes with fits the opening perfectly. You could take it to a store and try to find a different one. But too big and you won't be able to use it to push the inside lid down and empty it into the bin cleanly.

don't know how smart your critters are.... they would have to push down on the red latch. my husband thinks a racoon could figure it out. I doubt it. it is small enough that we keep it on our kitchen countertop. I totally love it. the latch means you can have the garbage in your hands and still open it without making a mess. I would not want to carry the garbage across the floor to the outside. Also, it is not really big enough to keep outside in my opinion. I use a lot of veggies for two people, and we take it to the garbage once or twice a week. It has a very small footprint on the countertop. If you want to keep it outside, get a bigger one or move your garbage can closer.

When you release the foot pedal it closes by itself, slowly (which is good, no slam). However, you can lift it straight up by hand and it will lock into place, which is good for removal of the plastic bin and for times when you have a few trips to make to the trash.

Yes you just open it a little past what it would open if you just pushed the lever with your foot. Love this garbage pail!!
