Size of the Crate

The first thing you have to keep in mind while buying a designer dog kennel is its size. You know your dog and its breed. Choose the kennel according to your dog’s size. Don’t bring home a small kennel for your pup. It will grow fast and then you have to invest again in a larger kennel. Purchase the kennel anticipating the size of the adult dog. It needs to have enough space so that the dog can stand, sit and sleep comfortably in it. It really doesn’t need to be any bigger than that. If the kennel is too big, your dog may not feel as comfortable as they would in a cozy kennel.
