Petmate Sky Kennel Dog Crate - GIANT

Choosing the right size for your pet's cage is crucial to making crate training a positive experience. Cages come in all sizes, from small to giant, to fit most dog breeds. So why all the fuss about cage sizes? Imagine your pet trying to stand, turn around, or sit in a cage that's too small for them. The best way to choose the perfect size for your puppy's cage is to measure them from the top of their head to the ground, then from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail. The cage height should be 7 to 10 centimeters taller than your pet, so there's enough room to stand fully, turn around easily, and lie down comfortably! If the cage is too small, your pet will feel uncomfortable; if it's too large, your pet might try to use the Pigeons in its space.
