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.

What size crate does my dog need?
Match your dog's weight to the chart above, then double-check with their nose-to-tail body length (not including the tail) — the crate's internal length should be a few cm longer so they can stand and turn comfortably.
Is bigger always better for a dog crate?
No — for crate training, especially with puppies, a crate that's too large can undermine house-training since the dog can use one end as a toilet away from their bed. Size for your dog's current size, or use a divider panel in a larger crate as they grow.
What's the largest dog crate size?
Our chart tops out at 48 inches (XXL), suited to dogs over roughly 40kg with a body length up to about 112cm — the size most giant breeds like Great Danes and Mastiffs need.
