FAQ
What size crate for a 20 lb dog?
A 22-inch crate (typical interior 22 x 13 x 16 inches) is the usual size for a dog of 20 lb. If your dog is long or tall for its weight, go up to 24 inches.
How do I check the crate is the right size?
Your dog should be able to stand without ducking, turn around and lie stretched out. Measure nose to base of tail and add about 3 inches for the length; measure standing height to the top of the head and add 3 inches.
What about a puppy that will weigh 20 lb as an adult?
Buy the 22-inch crate and use a divider panel so the puppy only has room to stand, turn and lie down. Move the divider back as it grows.
