Dog Crate Size Calculator
Enter your dog's body length (best) or weight for the right crate size in inches.
A crate should let your dog stand, turn around and lie down — no bigger. Measure body length from nose to base of tail and add about 10 cm. Weight is a handy fallback.

How to measure
Measure length
From the tip of the nose to the base of the tail (not including the tail).
Add turn-around room
Add about 10 cm so the dog can stand and turn comfortably.
Don't oversize
Too large a crate undermines house-training — use a divider for a growing puppy.
Check the door & height
Make sure the dog can sit without ducking; confirm the model's own chart.
