Does it come with trash bags?

Yes. The set includes a pack of trash bags sized for the can, and the liner ring holds a bag in place and hides the edge.

What batteries does it take?

It runs on AA batteries. They are standard disposable cells you swap out, not a rechargeable pack.

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes. The sensor area is rated IPX3 for splashes, and the compact size suits bathrooms, offices and dorms.

Will my dog be able to open it?

The lid stays shut until the sensor detects motion close to it, so pets generally cannot nose it open. Buyers report it keeps pets out of the trash.

It holds 3.2 gallons and stands about 14 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide, with a rectangular shape that fits against a wall or beside a toilet.

No. The lid closes softly on its own after the sensor times out.
