I've found them to be dog proof so far. My dogs can't knock them over and they still haven't worked out how to lift the lid to get in.

Have you got a name or working link for this? Can't find it on Ikea site

I would second the Brabantia 50L touch top one - it has completely defeated our pig of a retriever cross - although I found her lifting eggshells out of the compost caddy - she has such a soft mouth she picks them out to lick out any leftover egg!!!

Any change in behaviour should have a vets visit to rule out any medical reason. There can be any number of reasons why a dog appetite should increase.

In the mean time - put the bin out of the way (ours goes on the kitchen table at night - if I remember!)

It's not just labs that are bin raiders...... there was a terrible kerfuffle in the garden once and when I looked my old great dane was running around in a panic with the swing bin lid flapping around her neck. I nearly wet myself laughing at her!!

The bin now lives behind the breadbin at the back of the work top.

Yes get the dog checked, our dog started doing this when he was about 9,
it turned out that he was diabetic
