Petmate Sky Kennel Dog Crate - S

Choosing the right cage size for your pet is crucial to making crate training a positive experience. Cages are available in various sizes, from small to giant, to suit most dog breeds. So what's all the fuss about cage sizes? Imagine your pet trying to stand, turn, or sit in a cage that's too small for them. The best way to choose the perfect size for your dog'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 should be 7-10 cm taller and longer than your pet to ensure there's enough space to stand fully, turn easily, and lie down comfortably! If the cage is too small, your pet will feel uncomfortable; if it's too large, your pet may try to use the Pigeons in its space.
