Dog Crate Size Calculator

Your details

Measure your dog standing from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail (not the tip of the tail). Do not include the tail.
in
With your dog sitting, measure from the floor to the top of the head (or to the top of the ears if erect). This is the critical dimension for crate height.
in
Puppies should use a crate sized for their expected adult measurements. A divider panel lets you shrink the usable space during training and expand it as they grow.

  • Your dog needs a crate at least 28.0 in long and 24.0 in tall on the interior.
  • These minimums let your dog stand without crouching, turn a full circle, and stretch out when lying down.
  • If your dog is between two standard sizes, always choose the larger one.

Next stepMeasure the interior of any crate you buy - advertised sizes often refer to external dimensions.
