Metal Crate Sizing / Metal Cages Sizing

Quick Crate Sizing Breed Chart:

Dog crates should be large enough for your puppy or dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down with a water bowl.

Height of Dog Crates - The ideal size should enable your dog to stand up without any problems.
Length & Width of Dog Crates - the dog crate should be wide enough so your dog can lie on his side and stretch out, and long enough to lie down fully stretched out. (without having to curl up).

If you purchase a dog crate that your puppy will eventually grow into, you will need to shrink the space down for your puppy by placing some boxes or some kind of divider panels in the back of the dog crate. If you give him too much room, he is likely to use one side of the dog crate to sleep, and the other side as a bathroom.
