SIZING CRATES

What size crate should I get for my dog?

Choose a crate that is tall enough for the dog to stand up and turn around comfortably without bending down. The crate should be long and wide enough so the dog can lie down with legs fully stretched. A crate that is bigger than this is not better. In fact it in can pose a safety risk by giving dogs more room to injure themselves or get caught in the crate’s wire metal bars.

Always remember to remove a dog’s collar before placing your pet in the crate, then put the collar back on right before the pet is taken out of the crate. Collars and ID tags can become caught in the crate’s bars, choking the pet.
