Dog crates at a glance
Types of dog crates in this collection
The largest group in this range is heavy duty metal crates. Each type below suits a different dog and space.
Heavy duty metal crates
Heavy duty metal crates are the largest group in this collection. Most are steel with a removable tray, two or three doors and secure locks. Several roll on lockable wheels. Sizes run from about 37 inches (94 cm) to 49 inches (125 cm). A modular 83 inch (211 cm) crate suits large breeds. They suit strong, active dogs and busy homes.
Folding and small dog crates
A folding dog crate collapses for storage and travel, which helps in apartments and cars. The 24 inch (61 cm) models suit extra small and small dogs. Some have double doors, a soft cushion, a handle, a removable tray or lockable wheels. They are a common first crate for a puppy.
Dog crate furniture
Dog crate furniture doubles as an end table, side table or TV stand. Wooden designs run from about 31 to 47 inches (79 to 119 cm). They come with sliding doors, magnetic latches, drawers or a divider panel for two small dogs. Some suit medium dogs. See more furniture styles in our dog kennels.
Dog houses
Dog houses give a dog a sheltered spot in the garden or on a porch. The range includes plastic and wood designs. Features include air vents, windows, an openable roof, a removable floor or a raised base. Check the product page for the exact size, and bring a dog inside in very cold or hot weather.
Playpens and carriers
A four-panel playpen gives a dog room to move while staying contained. A pet carrier suits mini dogs and cats on short trips. Its product page lists it as airline approved, so check your airline's rules. See more in our dog playpens.
Check each product page for exact sizes, since dimensions vary by model.
How do you choose a large dog crate or the right size?
Measure your dog first
Measure from nose to the base of the tail, then add 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm). Measure standing height too. The crate should let your dog stand, turn around and lie down. A large dog crate such as a 43 or 49 inch (109 or 125 cm) model suits big breeds.
Pick the build
Steel crates are sturdy and easy to clean. Wood furniture crates look like home decor but suit calm dogs. Check for a secure latch, a tray that slides out and smooth edges. A heavy duty dog crate adds thicker bars and extra locks.
Think about doors and access
Double doors give more ways to place the crate. A front door and a side door help in tight rooms. Sliding and magnetic doors on furniture crates swing out of the way. A lockable door is designed to keep dogs secure during travel.
Check weight, wheels and storage
Lockable wheels make it easy to move a crate for cleaning. A folding crate stores flat when not in use. Check the weight so you can lift or move it. Add a pad or mat for comfort, and wash it often.
Where do dog crates work best?
A living room or bedroom works well for a crate your dog uses every night. A furniture crate fits beside a sofa or bed, and a steel crate can sit in a quiet corner. Keep the crate away from direct sun, heaters and draughts.
A garage, mudroom or basement suits a large metal crate, especially one with lockable wheels. A car or van suits a folding crate that you can set up quickly. See our dog supplies for beds, bowls and leads to go with it.
A garden or porch suits a dog house. Pair a crate with an elevated bed from our elevated dog beds so your dog stays comfortable. Always supervise puppies, and give breaks for exercise and bathroom trips.
How do you set up and care for a dog crate?
A dog crate needs a flat, stable spot and a soft pad or mat. Add a few safe toys and a water bowl for longer stays. Slide out the tray to wipe it down, and wash the bedding often. Check latches and bars for wear, and never leave a dog crated for long periods without a break.

Dog crate FAQs
What size dog crate do I need?
Choose a crate that lets your dog stand, turn around and lie down. Measure from nose to tail base and add 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm). A 24 inch (61 cm) crate suits small dogs. Large dogs need 37 to 49 inches (94 to 125 cm).
Is it better for a dog crate to be too big or too small?
A crate should be just big enough for your dog to stand, turn and lie down. A crate that is too small is uncomfortable. A crate that is too big can let a puppy use one end as a toilet. Some crates include a divider panel to adjust the space.
How long can a dog stay in a crate?
Adult dogs can usually rest in a crate for a few hours, and many sleep there at night. Puppies need shorter periods and frequent bathroom breaks. Give daily exercise and company. Ask your vet or trainer for advice on your own dog.
What is the difference between a dog cage and a dog crate?
A dog cage and a dog crate are the same kind of product. People often say cage for a metal wire or steel design, and crate for any enclosure. Both give a dog a safe, contained space. Check the size and features to find the right fit.
Are metal dog crates good for large dogs?
A metal dog crate suits large dogs. The steel bars are strong, and the tray slides out for cleaning. Look for a heavy duty dog crate with secure locks and a size that matches your dog's height. Check the weight range on the product page.
Can dog crate furniture replace a normal crate?
Dog crate furniture can replace a normal crate for calm dogs. It gives a den and doubles as a table. Wood is less sturdy than steel for strong chewers, so choose a metal crate for those dogs. Check the doors and latches before you buy.
