How do I choose the right size crate for my dog

Sure thing! Here are three different ways to answer that question:

"Choosing the right size crate for your dog is pretty straightforward! First, measure your dog from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail and then from the floor to the top of their head when they're standing. You want a crate that’s long enough for them to lie down comfortably and tall enough for them to stand up without bumping their head. A good rule of thumb is to add a few inches to those measurements for extra wiggle room!"

"When picking a crate size, think about your dog’s breed and their growth if they’re still a puppy. Generally, you want a crate that’s big enough for them to turn around and lie down but not so big that they can use one corner as a bathroom. If you have a puppy, you might want to get a divider so you can adjust the size as they grow!"
