Take up your dog against a wall that you can use to measure the size needed for your dog crates. Position your dog against the wall and make sure that your dog is in standing position by placing your one hand under the chin while the other hand under your dog's tummy. Make sure that your dog is relaxed while held against the wall. Ask someone to mark the wall along the top of your dog's head and then another mark along the tip of the nose. Lastly, mark the wall along the point where your dog's tail meets the body. The top of your dog's head is point A, the tip of the nose is point B, and the tail mark is point C. Measure from point A to the floor to get the height of your dog. Measure from point B to point C to get the length of your dog.

How do you determine the best size dog crate furniture for your pet?

Make sure your dog has plenty of room to turn around and lie down. The size of the crate depends also on how much time the dog will be in it. A general guide to size is to get at least a 24" crate for a 25 lb. dog, 36" for a dog up to 70 lbs., and 48" or bigger for a dog of 100lbs or more. The best size of crate to get for your pet is one that is large enough for them to adjust themselves and stand up in. However, it should not be so large that they are able to hurt themselves by thrashing around.

How big should a puppy's crate be?

The weight of the dog usually doesn't matter. But the size does! If you are buying a crate, then make sure it is big enough for you dog to stand up,turn around, and lay in. Now if you have a puppy, your puppy is probobly gonna potty in their crate. So make sure that it is just big enought to stand, turn around, and lay down in. Or they will go potty. But if it's a bigger dog it can be as big as you like. Answer: In addition to the great response above me if you have a large breed puppy you can purchase a larger crate but buy a divider to change how much room the puppy will have since large breed puppies grow very quickly. ---- How to Size your Dog for a Dog Crate. Dogs are by nature den creatures and desire a place of their own. A crate located in your home gives your dog a place to call their own. It provides them security and comfort. Dog crates come in many different sizes. To determine the appropriate Dog Crate Size, measure your dog's height and length. The best crate will allow your dog to stand up on all fours without having to bend their necks to shoulder level. The crate should also allow your dog to lie down and stretch his full body length without being cramped and they should be able to turn around easily. You do not want a dog crate that is too big either. When a dog has too much room in the crate, he/she might decide to go potty in one corner and sleep in the other. If the crate is just the right size for sleeping and lounging, the dog will usually not go potty in the same place it sleeps or lives. If you have a puppy, you will most likely want to buy a bigger size crate that will work as your puppy grows. Make sure that the crate you purchase has a divider panel. A divider panel allows you to adjust the size of the crate as your puppy grows. A divider panel solves the problem of a crate being too big. Dog crates are available in single door, double door and triple door design. Multiple doors allow you more access to your pet and their living quarters. It's up to you as to how much access you want to the crate. Most dog crates come with a free pan. A pan is usually made of durable plastic and serves as the floor of the crate. The pan can be easily cleaned if there are any accidents and for just regular maintenance. Divider panels can also come with a crate or can be an optional feature.

How do I know what size dog crate furniture I need to buy for my two lab puppies, and do they each need their own or can they share?

If you plan on keeping them crate trained, it's better than they have their own. Get the largest crate that is available so that it will grow with them. An extra large crate will run around $100. You should purchase dog crates for each dog. It is far too risky to have them in one crate together. Also, purchase a crate that allows them to stand up and re-adjust themselves while sleeping, but not so large that they can move around in it.
