Good to know
- Your dog should be able to stand without ducking, turn round easily and lie flat on its side in the crate.
- Check the crate’s inside dimensions, not just the outside, and add a few centimetres to your dog’s measurements.
- For a car crate, measure the boot opening height and the slope of the rear window as well as the floor.
Common questions
Which type of crate is best for the car?
Purpose-built aluminium car crates are the sturdiest and are shaped to fit the boot. Plastic transport crates and wire crates also work if they fit well and are secured so they cannot slide. Fabric crates are fine for calm dogs at your destination but offer little protection while driving.
What size crate does my dog need?
Your dog should be able to stand without its head touching the roof, turn around and lie flat on its side. Measure height to the top of the head or ears and length from nose to base of tail, add a few centimetres, and compare with the crate’s inside dimensions.
