As a new pet parent, trying to find the ideal crate can be challenging. Luckily, Canadian Tire has a wide selection of crates in various sizes, types and materials so you can find the perfect fit for your pup.
How much room should a dog have in a crate?
When figuring out what size to get, choose a crate that has room for your dog to stand up, turn around, stretch out and lie down. Any more space than that will encourage your pet to sleep on one side of their crate and relieve themselves on the other.
How can I tell if my dog crate is the right size?
If you notice your dog is hunched when standing or sitting in the crate, it’s too small. If the crate is too big, your dog might seek out other places that make him feel safe.
What crate size should I get for my puppy?
Your puppy will need room to grow, so remember to think ahead and choose a crate that will accommodate their adult size.
Why is it important for a dog to have a crate?
Dogs are den animals and enjoy having a confined space they can retreat to, especially when they’re tired, stressed or nervous. Additionally, crates can help with house training and solve behavioural problems like chewing and barking.
