Dog Crate Size Calculator
Find the right crate size for your dog from a couple of quick body measurements rather than guessing by breed. A good crate lets a dog stand without ducking, turn around comfortably, and stretch out to lie down, but is not so large that it loses the cozy, den like feel that supports house training. Measure your dog length from the nose to the base of the tail and its height from the floor to the top of the head while sitting or standing tall, then this tool adds a few inches of clearance to recommend a minimum crate length and height. It also suggests a common crate size band that matches. For growing puppies, size to the expected adult measurements and use a divider. Everything is calculated in your browser as general guidance for comfortable, appropriately sized housing.
How to use Dog Crate Size Calculator
- Measure your dog length from nose to tail base.

Frequently asked questions
How is the recommended crate size found?

Which body measurements do I need?
You need your dog length from nose to base of tail and its height from floor to the top of the head or shoulders while standing.
Why not just buy the biggest crate?
An oversized crate can undermine house training, since dogs prefer not to soil the space they rest in. The tool aims for enough room to move without excess.
