Common questions

What size crate does my dog need?

The crate should let the dog stand, turn, and lie stretched out. Measuring the dog is better than weight alone.

Should I buy a puppy crate for adult size?

Yes. Buy for adult weight and use a divider until they grow into it.

Is crate training cruel?

A correctly sized crate used for rest, not all-day confinement, is a common training tool. Never use it as punishment.
