What size crate does my dog need?
The best measure is your dog's length while standing, plus a few inches - but adult weight is an easy proxy. Enter the expected adult weight and we will point you to a crate length. The goal is snug, not roomy: just big enough to stand up, turn around and lie flat.
Weight class: -
The fit rule: a crate should be just big enough for your dog to stand up without ducking, turn around, and lie down flat on its side - no bigger. Too much space and a dog will happily use one end as a toilet.
📏 For a growing puppy, buy the adult size and use a divider panel to shrink the usable space, so it does not become a toilet corner while they are small. Long or tall breeds should measure nose to base-of-tail (and height at the ears) and add about 10 cm - go up a size if you are between sizes.
⚠️ These are starting recommendations based on typical body length for a given weight. Breed shape matters: a tall, leggy dog or a very long-backed breed may need to size up, while a stocky, compact dog of the same weight may not. When in doubt, measure your dog and match the crate to the body, not just the scale.
