Midwest Dog Crate Sizes

Midwest makes crates in different sizes and styles. One style of crates is called a “series”, such the iCrate, or Life Stages Series. Within a series, the crates share similar features and characteristics and they vary in size. Here we'll talk about the sizes you'll want to consider for your dogs.

What Size Crate for My Dog?

We have some guidelines based on dog weight, and also breed recommendations. Many times people opt to go one size bigger than is recommended. In general there is nothing wrong moving up a size or two.  However, you do not want a crate too big because, as the crates get bigger, the wire mesh spacing often gets wider. You may find that putting small dog, say 10 lbs, in a crate made for a 41 - 70lbs dog creates a safety hazard because your dog can get portions of his body, or even head through the gap.

Buy the Crate for the Adult Dog

If you don't see your dog breed in the list, or you have a mutt, make the best approximation you can of the size of the adult dog. Most of the wire crates include a divider panel that enables you to reduce the inside size of the crate for when your dog is a puppy. We call these types of crates “training crates” because you can use the divider panel to adjust the crate which should help with crate training and house-breaking.
