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 โ€” no bigger. Measure body length from nose to base of tail and add about 10 cm. Weight is a handy fallback.

How to measure

  1. Measure length

    From the tip of the nose to the base of the tail (not including the tail).

  2. Add turn-around room

    Add about 10 cm so the dog can stand and turn comfortably.

  3. Don't oversize

    Too large a crate undermines house-training โ€” use a divider for a growing puppy.

  4. Check the door & height

    Make sure the dog can sit without ducking; confirm the model's own chart.
