Selecting the appropriate crate size for your dog is crucial for their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. A crate that is too small can be cramped and uncomfortable, while one that is too large may not provide adequate support or security. Here are some key considerations to help you choose the ideal crate size for your furry friend:
Measuring your dog’s height and length is essential. Stand your dog up straight and measure from the top of their head to the ground for their height. For their length, measure from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail. Adding 2 to 4 inches to both measurements will give you the minimum recommended crate size.
