We do encourage owners to consult their pet professional that specializes in your dogs breed information. Buying the right dog crate sizes for your pets involves a number of important considerations.
What’s Your Dog Like?
Knowing your pup well will help you choose a safe and comfortable crate for them. Here are a few questions to answer when purchasing the best dog crate for your pet.
You should also consider the size and layout of your home when making your decision. Will you need to put your dog’s crate away when it’s not in use? Consider a collapsible crate for easier storage. Crates with multiple doors give you more flexibility when it comes to positioning the crate in your home. And if you plan to use your soft-sided crate outside, look for water-resistant material.

How big should your dog crate be?
Yes, dog crates can be too big. It’s easy to think that as long as a crate is big enough for your dog, then it doesn’t matter if it is too large. However, too much room in a dog’s crate can lead to them not thinking of it as their own confined space. Dogs actually feel a sense of security when they are in a closed environment and they will establish it as a home, much like we do with a bedroom. Too much space can lead to anxiety for the pet, or even using parts of the crate to go potty because they won’t feel like they have to sleep in it if they do.
