Dog Crate Size Calculator

Estimate the right crate size for a dog based on shoulder height, length, and breed weight.

Common questions

What size crate does my dog need?
Measure length from nose to base of tail and add 2–4 inches, and shoulder height plus 2–4 inches for width and height. The calculator maps these to common crate sizes.
Should a puppy get an adult-size crate?
Get the adult size and use a divider panel. It saves money and avoids re-crate-training.
Is a bigger crate always better?
No — for house-training, a too-large crate lets a dog eliminate on one side and sleep on the other. Snug fit reinforces the den instinct.
