It depends on how the crate is used, the exercise and affection the dog receives, just how long it is left in the crate, and the individual dog's temperament, behavior, and needs.
If properly crate trained, dogs will consider their crate their den, an area of safety and security that's all their own. They will go and nap in them all by themselves, and they would be upset if you were to remove their crate.
Sometimes, crating a dog can save it's life. For example, if it is a young puppy or adult dog with separation anxiety that chews on dangerous items like electrical cords. Sometimes, crating a dog can be overused and wind up being harmful. For example, crating without sufficient daily exercise, entertainment, social interaction, and affection can be negligent (if not down right abusive).
A dog should not spend more than 8 hours in a crate, and neither dogs nor puppies should spend more time in a crate than they can hold their bladder and bowels. A good rule of thumb for a puppy is that it can only hold it for an hour for every month of its age. For example, a 2-month-old puppy needs to be let out to stretch and potty every 2 hours.
The crate must be large enough for the dog to comfortably sit, stand, turn around, and lie stretched out.
The dog must also get plenty of both mental and physical stimulation every day.
The crate should be used as part of comprehensive plan for the dog's well being and mental health, not as an easy substitute for the efforts of taking care of and properly training a dog.
