Abstract: A dog excrement container having a hollow stem, with a receptacle which is held thereon and has a ring surface, having an excrement bag whose hem is turned down over the ring surface, having a covering ring which is pivotable about an axis oriented perpendicularly to the ring surface, and having a pulling element for the covering ring, the pulling element being guided inside the hollow stem. The technical problem is the odor-tight closure of the dog excrement container and safe handling of the excrement bag. The receptacle (4) has a bowl (5) closed at the bottom, the covering ring is constructed as a covering plate (14), and, as the pulling element, a rod (19) on the one hand is guided in a longitudinal slot (6) of the hollow stem (1) and on the other hand engages in a receptacle (17) of the covering plate (14).
