Dog crate size chart by weight and breed

The chart is MidWest's iCrate sizing — the interior dimensions and weight bands the manufacturer publishes — followed by the measuring rule that beats any weight band, and a crate answer for every breed on the site.

Measure the dog, then check the band

Length decides crate size; weight only approximates it. Stand the dog and measure nose tip to base of tail, then add 2 to 4 inches — that is the minimum interior length. Sitting height from floor to top of head, plus the same allowance, is the minimum interior height. The result should let the dog stand without crouching, turn around and lie flat on its side. A crate with much more room than that is not kinder; for a puppy it slows house-training, which is why these crates ship with a divider panel.

Over 110 lb — a Mastiff, a large Great Dane or Saint Bernard — the chart ends and 54 in crates begin. Measure, then buy from the dimensions, not the label.

Crate size by breed

Each page shows the breed's standard adult weight and height with its source, the crate band(s) it falls in, bed size, and what to do for a puppy of that breed.
