Answer
Crate size is based upon the requirements of a full size dog being able to comfortably stand, turn around and lie down. A good size would be: 20" wide, 24" high and 36" deep. Preferably made of heavy gauge wire with two sliding action security bolts. The wire crate allows the dog to see out in all directions, and for the owner to see in. With a hinged top, it is easy to clean out if the puppy makes a mess. The wire crate has the feature of being collapsible, thus allowing for easy transport. This is a desirable feature for travelers who want to take their dog on trips. The crate gives the dog a secure and comfortable feeling having its' home no matter where it is. The plastic models are required for airlines shipping.

You should pick the second crate. It can help your dog feel safe and cozy.

What size Dog crate should i get?

Lilly Hami

i have a husky mix (we think its a husky shepherd) hes only about a year old so he might grow a little more. But anyway he goes crazy everytime i leave the house, if i put him inside he scratches every door in the house, if hes in the garage he actually chewed half way threw the garage door, and in the back yard he digs holes every where. i dont really like crating dogs but im gonna have to untill he calms down a bit. im not sure where i could find one for cheap and what size i should get. please help! thanks!!!!!

i take him on three walks a day and only leave him 2 hours every day, he has tons on exercise. so that is not the problem

Answer
I am a big believer in crates, but hate to see any dog left over 4-5 hours. If you can't make it back to give it a mid day break, see if a neighbor or professional dog walker can. Doggy day care is a great idea too.

A crate only needs to be big enough for the dog to stretch out in. Note, if you will ever fly with it, it must be able to stand with its head erect. A 24'' plastic crate might or might not be big enough. Y9u may need to go up to the 36'' ones.
