Dog Crate Size Guide
The right size gives your dog room to stand, turn around and lie down comfortably, without so much space that it stops feeling cozy.
Step 1: Measure your dog
- Length: with your dog standing, measure from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail (not the tip).
- Height: with your dog sitting, measure from the floor to the top of the head (or the tips of the ears if they stand up).
Step 2: Add 2–4 inches
Add 2–4 inches to both measurements. Those are the minimum inside length and height your dog needs. For a growing puppy, size up for the adult size.
Step 3: Compare with the inside dimensions
Always compare with the inside dimensions below, not the outside size of the furniture.
| Crate | Inside (W × D × H) | Best for dogs up to about | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32.5" Crate End Table | 30.5" × 20.1" × 23.7" | 27" long · 20" tall sitting | View |
| 38.6" Crate End Table | 36.6" × 23.6" × 25.2" | 33" long · 21" tall sitting | View |
| 70.8" Double Crate (per room) | 34.2" × 19.6" × 18.7" | 31" long · 15" tall sitting (each of 2 dogs) | View |
"Best for" sizes are calculated from the inside dimensions minus about 3 inches of room. Always measure your own dog. If you are between sizes, choose the larger crate.
