The Best Dog Crate

A small dog sitting on a cushion inside one of our top picks for the best dog crate.

No dog owner wants to come home to overturned trash cans or a pile of poo on the floor. A good dog crate is an essential to allay such mishaps—and help your pet thrive. This crate is a cozy and safe resting place that keeps even the most curious pooches contained while their humans are out of the house. Enlisting area rescue pooches and our own escape-artist dogs, we put 17 crates to the test. And we found the MidWest Ultima Pro Double Door Folding Dog Crate to be the best all-around crate. It’s sturdy and secure, and it comes in five sizes, each designed to last a lifetime: This crate adapts with your puppy as they grow, thanks to removable dividers.

For more security or regular air travel.

With its sturdy plastic shell and secure door latch, this model is great for use at home or on a plane. But its smaller windows provide less of a view for your pup.

The MidWest Ultima Pro Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate has a tight grid of thick wire that makes it resistant to escape and damage. Its bottom pan won’t give in to claws and can’t be pushed out by paws, unlike the flimsier pans included with cheaper models. It folds up securely into a briefcase-style rectangle with solid clip-on handles, and it won’t come undone in a cacophonous crash if you grab the wrong part. Even if you are certain your dog doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety and won’t work to escape a crate, the Ultima Pro represents a sound investment in a safe space for your dog—and for future dogs as well.

The MidWest LifeStages Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate is designed with a slightly looser grid and thinner wire than other crates we tested, so it’s lighter and easier to carry. This crate is often 30% cheaper than the Ultima Pro. So if money is tight and you’re fairly certain your dog will stay calm in a crate, the LifeStages will do. However, that lighter design makes the LifeStages crate less likely to withstand long-term wear from a more-destructive dog.

The Frisco Heavy Duty Fold & Carry Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate features thick wire that’s just as durable as that of our main pick, but this crate often costs half the price. The locking mechanism keeps dogs securely inside, and the removable tray doesn’t warp or slide out of the base after a dog has used it. But this wire crate is sold in slightly larger dimensions across sizes than other crates we tested. Overall, the Frisco dog crates are about 2 inches bigger, making them slightly heavier and more cumbersome to carry when folded up than the MidWest models we recommend.

If you need a crate that you can use to occasionally fly with a dog, or you want something that a tenacious dog is less likely to escape from at home, a solid plastic crate (sometimes called a “sky kennel”) is a good bet. Petmate’s Ultra Vari Kennel is the go-to among the dog trainers we interviewed, and it’s the best travel-friendly pick for most dogs. This crate is easy to assemble and simple to latch shut, and it has proper tie-downs for safer airline travel in a plane’s belly. (This model is not specifically designed for in-car use, though, so consider a restraint harness instead). The Ultra Vari’s secure design features only one door, rather than two on adjacent sides like on our other picks. That leaves fewer ways for your pup to escape. But if you’re using this crate at home, in a crowded room it may be harder to find a spot for it where your dog gets a good view. The crate’s narrow windows also restrict the view, which might be a concern if you’ve got a particularly curious pup—or one with FOMO.

As Wirecutter’s pets writer, I’ve covered everything from dog harnesses and GPS pet trackers to pet separation anxiety and training basics. I’m also a pet owner and experienced animal shelter volunteer who’s dealt with her fair share of both problematic and exceptional dog crates.

This guide builds on reporting by Kevin Purdy, a journalist and dog owner who has crate-trained his puggle Howard using a variety of crates. He’s also written earlier versions of Wirecutter’s guides to standing desks and bed frames, among others.

For this guide, we interviewed an expert dog-behavior trainer, a veterinary technician, and two of the manufacturers of crates we tested. We also read many relevant books and posts on dog training and behavior, to get input on what makes a good dog crate. 2 And we partnered with Friends with Four Paws , an Oklahoma-based pet rescue, to test out our crates with its dogs, both at home and during cross-country trips to meet their new families.

Not everyone buys or uses a dog crate, but they probably should. Everybody should at least consider a dog crate when they first bring home a dog, whether they’re puppy or full-grown, purebred or rescue. Veteran dog trainer Tyler Muto recommends a crate for each and every dog owner he works with. “If you talk to two dog trainers, the only thing you can get them to agree on is that the third dog trainer is wrong,” Muto said. “Other than that, almost every dog trainer will tell you that a crate is an essential tool for dog owners.”

At the least, crates help prevent accidents while dogs are being housebroken , and they keep dogs from accessing dangerous or unhealthy foods or objects when the owners are absent. Keeping a dog in a crate can halt the pet’s tough-to-break habit of destroying household items and furniture while an owner is away, Muto said. 1 Crates also provide a space where your dog feels safe and at home, and they allow owners to separate a dog from guests, contractors, or temptations when necessary.

Not everybody needs the same crate, however. For people who have dogs with significant separation anxiety or escape-artist tendencies, or for those who have to travel often with their dogs, a solid plastic crate may be needed. For those with dogs who fare better in a crate, or for people who need a crate only occasionally, it’s fine to use a wire crate that easily folds into a suitcase-style rectangle with handles.

People who want to use a crate regularly in a common area of the house—and who have a very crate-friendly dog with no separation anxiety—might prefer a furniture-style crate that blends in with their decor or can be used as an end table. However, over the years we’ve yet to find a model that meets our criteria for safety and security at a reasonable price, so we don’t recommend them . And though it might seem like a nice idea to use your dog’s chic crate as an end table—topped with books or a snazzy lamp—placing items on top of any crate can be dangerous should an accident occur.

Lastly, a wire crate isn’t ideal for owners who don’t plan on removing their dog’s collar each time they crate them. For a dog, wearing a collar in a crate introduces a risk of entanglement , which can result in injury or strangulation . As a result, many veterinary clinics and boarding facilities have strict collar-removal policies for dogs in their care.  At the very least, collared dogs should wear break-away or similar safety collars without tags that can get caught on the crate.

All of our dog-crate picks come in multiple sizes, so whether you’ve got a Cockapoo or a Chow Chow, you’ll likely be able to find a crate that’s the right size for your dog.

Get the most bang for your buck by choosing a crate with dimensions based on your dog’s adult size or projected adult size (if they’re still a puppy). All of our wire-crate picks have plastic dividers, to help adjust the crate space as puppies grow.

According to the Association of Professional Dog Trainers , a dog’s crate should be big enough for them to stretch out and stand to turn around without bumping their head. To find the right-size crate for your dog, note your dog’s weight, and measure their height and length from nose to tail. Manufacturers often share weight ranges or recommendations for their crates along with the dimensions. And though weight is important in gauging crate size, the measurements are key to ensuring the dog has enough room to be comfortable in the space.

For adult dogs, the APDT advises owners to add 4 inches of extra room to their measurements, and to select a crate with dimensions that size, scaling up if needed (a bigger crate is better than a smaller one). For puppies, add 12 inches to their height measurement to account for their potential adult size. Be sure to use the included dividers found in our wire-crate picks to block off the unused area, since puppies are prone to soiling in their crate if there’s a lot of extra space. (You can read more potty-training basics in How to Potty Train Your Puppy .)

The APDT has a handy chart to help guide you on which crate size might be right for your breed. If you need to buy a plastic travel crate for a puppy, keep in mind that those don’t come with dividers. In that case, it’s best to opt for a crate that fits your dog now, and then size up to a new crate as they grow.

Our four picks for the best dog crate, three of them with wire sides and one with plastic sides.

We read up on crate training from trusted sources like the Animal Humane Society , American Kennel Club , Association of Professional Dog Trainers , and Humane Society of the United States . We also assembled a panel of Wirecutter pet owners to chat about their expectations for dog crates. Then we interviewed credentialed dog behaviorists about the role of a good dog crate. Those we spoke with included Tyler Muto, a dog trainer at K9 Connection in Buffalo, New York, who has also served as president of the International Association of Canine Professionals , and Judi Bunge, a veterinary technician at McClelland Small Animal Hospital in Buffalo.

We then sifted through hundreds of internet listings and dozens of options from our local pet stores. We learned that every crate—no matter how high its ratings or expert recommendations—was the subject of at least one review story about a dog escaping or, worse, injuring themself trying to escape. Still, at the time of our research, some crates had attracted a number of complaints about specific flaws: doors that easily bent, latches that popped open with the bump of a nose, or trays that dogs could slide out through the bottom.

A screenshot of a zoom chat window with six Wirecutter staffers and their pets.

We eliminated wire crates that did not come with a removable divider because this inexpensive addition makes a crate resizable as your puppy grows. We also favored wire crates that had two doors, since that design allows for more-convenient placement, especially in smaller or irregularly shaped rooms. The plastic crates we reviewed were the exception to these rules because they can be used for air travel.

With these findings, the advice of our experts, and the input of a panel of dog-loving Wirecutter staffers, we identified a small set of contenders, ranging from $60 to $250, in wire, plastic, and furniture-style crates.

A person with a beard and ball cap kneels on the floor to examine the bottom of a dog crate we tested.

In 2022, we enlisted the volunteers at Friends with Four Paws , a rescue group in Oklahoma. Prior to joining Wirecutter, I adopted my dog Sutton from this rescue, and I also consulted the group for Wirecutter’s dog beds guide . Friends with Four Paws rescues animals from municipal shelters and owner surrenders, and the group transports many of them from Oklahoma to New York for adoption. So these dogs are well suited for testing out dozens of crates that need to withstand wear and tear, and we tested the crates with dogs weighing from 12 pounds to 80 pounds.

Dog trainer Tyler Muto was a key part of our original testing for this guide. He inspected each crate and considered each for its structural strength, tamper-resistant locks, and the quality of the lining tray. He also considered how easy each crate was to collapse, set up, and clean.

Overall, a quality wire dog crate should be easy to carry in one secure bundle, and, if necessary, sturdy enough to last through multiple dogs. A good plastic crate should be much the same (though it isn’t broken down often), and it should provide the necessary security and tie-downs for air travel. A furniture crate drops most pretenses of damage resistance, but it should still be sturdy, and its looks and convenience are far more important than with wire or plastic crates.

Along with Muto’s examination, we examined and tested the crates ourselves. To verify each crate’s strength against pulling teeth or forceful paws, we used a luggage scale to apply roughly 50 pounds of pulling pressure to each cage’s door, at the center and then at a looser corner away from the latch. We set up and broke down each wire crate at least a dozen times. After latching each crate shut and attaching its plastic handle, we carried each crate to three locations to see how well it stayed together (not all of the crates did so). We pulled the plastic tray out from each crate to see how easy it was to remove and whether cleaning involved any tricks or problems. Finally, we ran our hands around the corners and edges of each crate, looking for sharp wire, plastic edges, or unfinished corners that could injure a dog or a human.

A small dog sitting in our pick for the best dog crate, the MidWest Ultima Pro Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate.

The MidWest Ultima Pro Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate is the crate to get if you want one that will last for the lifetime of your dog, and if you’re likely to have another dog (or many more) in the future. This crate comes in five sizes, the smallest being 24 inches long; the largest clocks in at 48 inches long and can suit many large breeds.

Ultimately, our testers favored this crate over all others. Friends with Four Paws secretary Kim Crawford said that the Ultima Pro “definitely felt the most reliable and heavy enough to withstand even the toughest dogs,” and Kim noted that the rescue has always liked the brand.

This crate’s wire was thicker and its grid tighter than any other reasonably priced crate we tested, and 50 pounds of pulling pressure didn’t affect it at all.​​ Our testers said the lock remained secure and was easy for them to latch and unlatch. The crate also folded fluidly down into a “suitcase” for carrying and was easy to set up again.

The Ultima Pro’s tray is removable, but only by humans, and it’s easy to clean and tough. Available in five sizes, this crate comes with a divider for use with growing puppies, and it has rubber feet to prevent scratched floors—a hidden-gem feature of the Ultima Pro. It comes with a one-year warranty for manufacturing defects from MidWest , which has been in business since 1921 and making dog crates since the 1960s.

This crate is made of thicker wire than most crates in its price range, and it’s noticeably heavier. The Ultima Pro model that measures 36 inches on its longest side weighs 38 pounds. Other best-selling double-door crates of the same size weigh 18 to 20 pounds. But unless you’d be moving your crate often and would have trouble with that weight, we think the durability of the Ultima Pro is worth it.

There’s also simply more wire on the Ultima Pro, with five crossbeams, instead of the typical three, on its shorter side. This heavier, denser grid of wire means smaller lengths of wire between joints, so the wire is harder to bend. Wire that doesn’t easily bend means the crate stays in its cube shape, and all of its latches and hooks line up as they should. Every corner and clasp on the Ultima Pro is rounded, so as to prevent injury from escape efforts. The wire has a powder-coated finish that makes it more attractive-looking than the slick, glossy wire on cheaper crates.

The lock on the Ultima Pro is not complicated, but it is reliable and difficult for dogs to manipulate. The looped-handle locking mechanism is common on wire crates, but the Ultima Pro’s thicker wire makes the closing mechanism on this crate feel satisfying and secure. And in the event of an emergency, it’s easier to get your dog out of a crate with a smooth-acting lock that’s in its proper place.

Our top pick for the best dog crate, collapsed down to fold flat.

Folding up the Ultima Pro to move it is much the same as with other wire crates. Yet the crate’s sturdy nature makes this an easier task than with crates prone to bending. The collapsed crate holds together with small C-shaped clamps, and you can transport it with thick, plastic detachable handles. You need to fold the Ultima Pro in one direction in order to clamp it shut for carrying, but once it’s in its “suitcase” shape, it stays together.

The plastic tray on the bottom of the Ultima Pro is thick but not heavy, and our trainer expert thought it seemed the most likely to last. The included tray latch keeps a rambunctious dog inside the crate from sliding the tray out. In our tests, the latch remained steady when we pushed against the tray from inside the crate. That vulnerability exposes floors and carpets to damage, and a dog could get injured if they try to escape through that gap. As for cleaning, the Ultima Pro’s tray cleaned up fine with enzyme spray and dish detergent.

An included divider allows you to choose the Ultima Pro model that’s appropriately sized for the eventual full size of your dog. As your puppy grows, you move the divider to give your dog enough space to turn around but enough enclosure to deter them from using the crate as a toilet. The divider is notably thinner than the crate, though, and only rounded hooks keep it in place. If your puppy is already exhibiting anxiety or escape tendencies, you may need to obtain a more secure crate that fits their current size.

One small detail on MidWest crates, the no-scratch rubber feet on the corners, could save you a lot of heartache someday if you have hard floors. First-time dog-crate owners might not know that the plastic tray sits on top of the wire on the bottom, so the crate itself rests on its wire grid. If your dog bumps the crate around, or if you move it often, these rubber feet are a small grace you’ll hardly notice, and that’s a good thing.

The Ultima Pro’s five sizes are available on both Amazon and Chewy, and on the authorized online retailer MidWestPetProducts.com . You can also find it at many brick-and-mortar pet stores. This crate comes with a one-year warranty and a DVD on crate training (which you can watch on YouTube ). MidWest is very clear and helpful on which crate size works for which dogs, offering a useful breed/size/weight chart ; many other crate makers offer only a single weight estimate.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The flaws of this crate are directly related to its strengths. It is heavier than other crates we tested—the largest crate size is nearly 50 pounds. So if you’ve got a large dog, or you’re planning to move the crate around often, keep that in mind.

A small dog sitting in our runner up pick for best dog crate, the MidWest LifeStages Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate.

MidWest’s LifeStages Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate has the same design and company support as our top pick , the Ultima Pro. And the LifeStages crate is available in the same sizes (and one additional, slightly smaller size), from 22 inches long to 48 inches long. The only real differences, as stated by MidWest: This crate’s wire is slightly thinner, and the grid is a bit wider, with three crossbars instead of five, so the LifeStages crate weighs and costs less. Our expert trainer said that if you can find the LifeStages crate at a lower price than the Ultima Pro, he’d recommend it to most dog owners. We’ve seen the price of LifeStages crates fluctuate significantly on Amazon, sometimes costing more than the corresponding Ultima Pro size. If the Ultima Pro is out of stock in the size you need, or if the LifeStages crate is notably lower in price, it’s a solid choice.

A small dog sitting in our budget pick, the Frisco Heavy Duty Fold & Carry Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate.

The Frisco Heavy Duty Fold & Carry Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate packs most of the durability of our main pick but is usually about half the price. The Frisco wire dog crate features what our testers describe as a “super solid” locking mechanism that slides nicely and remains secure when locked. The tray is easy to remove and clean, and it didn’t slide out by mistake during testing. Like the LifeStages model, the Frisco features a wider grid with three crossbars instead of the five found on the Ultima Pro. Having just three bars doesn’t mean that this crate is substantially less durable: It’s got a strong, coated steel frame. But, as our testers noted, each size of the Frisco is proportionally slightly wider and taller than the MidWest models, making the Frisco heavier and more cumbersome to carry. This wire dog crate is sold in six sizes, from 22 inches long to 49 inches long.

A small dog sitting in our also great pick for the best dog crate, the Petmate Ultra Vari Kennel.

Not every dog thrives in a wire crate. Some dogs prefer a more-enclosed space, or they need more deterrence from attempting to escape. Some dog owners may prefer a much lighter crate, or one with added protection against accidents and wayward paws. And if you’re planning to do any air travel with your dog, an enclosed crate, or “sky kennel,” is required by the federal Animal Welfare Act and enforced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and airline carriers for any pet traveling as cargo (small pets can fly in-cabin in airline-friendly travel carriers ). Petmate’s Ultra Vari Kennel is a tough crate that will defeat most attempted escapes and contain accidents. It also meets most airline requirements, and it’s easy to put together, shut securely, and move around. This crate comes in six sizes, ranging from 21 inches long to 48 inches long, but only the two smallest sizes have carry handles.

Among the experienced dog handlers we spoke to for this guide, many recommended Vari Kennels by name. The metal-grated windows on these crates are tougher and more paw-resistant than the oblong holes you typically find punched into the sides of plastic crates, and their door design stands up to a lot of pressure. The interior has a groove on the floor to catch liquid, making most accidents easy to clean up. The Ultra Vari Kennel has tie-down holes, which allow owners to secure the crate in a plane’s cargo area or to loop with zip ties as needed. However, the experts we spoke to said that no crate is really safe in a car , and a restraint harness, like the Sleepypod Clickit Sport , is the safer choice.

The Ultra Vari Kennel isn’t foolproof, though. With enough force, a dog could pull inward on the door, bending it back far enough that the door’s two latching bits pop out of their plastic sockets (our expert trainer called this “taco-ing the door”). If you need the most secure crate for your dog, especially if you’re flying with it, the Petmate’s Sky Kennel model we tested has a door made of stronger metal, with a four-point lock that requires two steps to undo. However, we don’t recommend it because the crate’s shell isn’t as durable overall.

Our three wire-style top picks for the best dog crate, folded flat and set side by side.

Wire crates

As stated in How we picked , we limited our search to crates that had a number of reviews, enjoyed wide availability, and offered certain features we consider to be key, such as a divider, two doors, and a slide-out tray.

We like that the Diggs Revol Dog Crate has a wide plastic frame that’s easier to set up and collapse than most of the crates we tested (so your fingers are less likely to get pinched in the steel mesh wire corners). A former Kickstarter, the Diggs Revol launched in 2018 and at the time of writing is available only in size small (for pets up to 30 pounds). It also starts at about $245 at the time of writing, so it’s three times more expensive than our current pick, the MidWest Ultima Pro Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate .

The ​​ Frisco Fold & Carry Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate is easy to assemble, but the locking mechanism was flimsy, and our testers said a “pushy” dog could escape.

The Pet Gear The Other Door Steel Crate has a plastic frame similar to that of the Diggs Revol. It’s sold in a narrow range of sizes (27, 36, and 42 inches) and is expensive.

MidWest’s iCrate Folding Metal Dog Crate has the same design, features, and warranty as its respective “better” and “best” siblings, the LifeStages and the Ultima Pro crates, but has thinner wire. It’s not a bad crate if you’re certain your dog is calm and crate-comfortable, and it’s available in eight sizes, covering more small breeds. But it’s less resistant to bending and escape. Most people should spend a little more and get the LifeStages , unless you need your crate to weigh 20 pounds instead of 30.

The AmazonBasics Folding Metal Dog Crate (discontinued) fared well in our examination and stress testing, as well as in ease of fold-down and raise-up, and carrying stability. It’s not a bad crate in any real way. But for the extra $15 or $25 (at the time of writing), we think the stronger wire and bend resistance of the LifeStages or Ultima Pro (respectively) are worth it. And the AmazonBasics crate lacks rubber feet.

Our expert trainer said a determined dog could partly raise the garage-style door of the Kong-branded Space Saving Double-Door Pet Crate (no longer available) before the safety latch could catch, which is a safety concern.

OxGord crates are popular on Amazon, sometimes holding the best-seller slot in certain subcategories. They are popular because they are inexpensive, and they are inexpensive because their wire is thin. We pulled open the door of a 36-inch double-door OxGord crate using less than 50 pounds of pressure in less than a minute. And we pushed out its bottom tray with just the pressure of our hands.

Plastic/airline kennels

The Kennel Direct Pet Crate (no longer available) costs as much as the Ultra Vari Kennel , but its door is less secure than our pick.

The lock on the Frisco Plastic Dog & Cat Kennel easily slides open with one hand, and our testers worried a determined dog could slip the lock.

Our testers said the Petmate Sky Dog Kennel features a sturdy design best suited for air travel, but it isn’t ideal for moving from room to room when at home. It wasn’t as durable as our airline pick, either.

Grreat Choice Dog Carriers (now unavailable) are a PetSmart exclusive. These plastic carriers—which are designed with a sturdy metal door, fastened together with bolts, and equipped with tie-down holes—will keep most dogs inside. We saw nothing particularly wrong with them, but they don’t have the reputation of the Ultra Vari Kennel models. And the color combination of accident-ready brown and medical-waiting-room beige doesn’t do much for whatever room you have to store your crate in.

Furniture crates

We limited our search for furniture crates to models priced $500 and less. Although we didn’t make security and strength a deciding factor for this category, we did avoid crates whose reviews contained a number of escape or dog-injury stories, and we favored crates made of solid woods rather than fiberboard.

Casual Home’s Pet Crate End Table is very cheap for this category, and you’ll probably find out why halfway through building it. If it’s solid wood, it’s very thin solid wood, especially the bars on the door and sides. One Amazon review relates how a 10-pound puppy chewed a way out . In our tests, the top of the crate developed a deep gouge during assembly. A couple of the pre-drilled holes seemed off-center, too, and after assembly the crate was uneven and prone to wobbling on two diagonal corners.

The Richell Wooden End-Table Crate comes in one color (dark brown) and two broad sizes (“up to 44 pounds” and 88 pounds). We could list many things to critique with this crate, but the dealbreaker is that it has no bottom. The manufacturer doesn’t make this clear, but the crate has only three sides, a top, and a door; you slide in a plastic tray for the bottom. The design leaves definite gaps between the tray and the walls, and the tray is flimsy enough that a dog could bend it upward.

This article was edited by Catherine Kast and Jennifer Hunter.

In particular, we read these guides from the Humane Society of the United States and the Animal Humane Society .

Dog-behavior problems like digging, chewing, and improper elimination are self-reinforcing because they feel good and soothing to the dog, but the owner is not around to correct them. Believe the authors of this guide: Out-of-crate behaviors can be very tough to modify.

What brand of dog crate is best?

In our testing, the best overall dog crate is the MidWest Ultima Pro Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate . It has a tight grid of thick wire that makes it resistant to escape and damage. Its bottom pan can’t be pushed out by paws, unlike the flimsier plastic pans included with cheaper models. And the crate folds up securely into a briefcase-style rectangle with solid clip-on handles that won’t come undone if you grab it from the wrong end. The MidWest LifeStages Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate is slightly less tough, but it’s still more resilient than most other dog crates we found. And it’s lighter than the Ultima version, so it’s easier to move around.

Are wire or plastic dog crates better?

The two materials excel at different uses. Metal crates are tougher and more paw-resistant than plastic crates, and their doors tend to stand up to more pressure. They’ll hold up well against a puppy who’ll fling their body around or a dog who may gnaw at the door. But a light plastic crate, like the Petmate’s Ultra Vari Kennel , is better suited to traveling and is also extremely hard for a pet to break out of. But it’s a bit more expensive, and it has enclosed sides, which not all dogs love.

What should I look for in a dog crate?

A crate should be durable and resistant to bending. Look for a size that’s large enough for your pet to move around in (the manufacturer will have a sizing guide you can reference). Since buying multiple crates as your dog grows can get expensive, opt for one with a removable divider so it’s adaptable from puppyhood to full-grown. Crates with two doors are also useful because they can be more conveniently placed in smaller or irregularly shaped rooms.

What is the best dog crate for a car?

An important note: We did not test for car safety. For one thing, you should never put your dog in a wire crate in the car. Every book we read and every expert we talked to reinforced this advice, sometimes without our asking. Even the strongest wire crates fared extremely poorly in the 2015 Center for Pet Safety/Subaru crash tests of travel crates . Those tests (and earlier 2013 tests) also confirmed that almost no crate under $150 will pass a crash test, and some will make a crash worse for a dog. A failing crate not only imperils your pet but also could release the pet as a projectile, potentially injuring you, as well. If you plan to travel with your dog in the car often, consider buying a Sleepypod Clickit Sport or Terrain restraint harness or upgrading to a Gunner Kennel , both of which are CPS Certified . The Petmate Ultra Vari Kennel , our recommendation for a hardshell crate for home and flying, is better than a wire crate for car trips—but it's still not as safe as either a harness or a car-specific crate.

large and extra large dog crates

Big dogs need – wait for it, you’re never gonna guess – big crates.

I know. I’ll give you a second to process this mind-blowing bit of info.

But there are a couple of other things to think about when buying a crate for your extra-large canine, some of which are actually a bit surprising. We’ll dive into this issue below and talk about the things you’ll want to look for when picking a crate for your big pooch.

Finally, we’ll recommend six of the best options available (feel free to skip to the bottom if you like for full review details).

First Thing’s First: What Qualifies as a “Large” Dog?

difference in big and huge dog

There’s no commonly accepted definition for a “large” or “extra-large” dog. Nor is there an official size range for terms like “giant,” “colossal,” “jumbo,” or “oh-my-god-how-much-does-that-dog-weigh?”

It’s all varies pretty arbitrarily from one manufacturer, owner, breeder, vet, and writer to the next.

But for our purposes here, we’ll keep things simple:

  • Large breeds will refer to dogs weighing more than 50 pounds
  • Extra-large breeds will refer to dogs weighing more than 100 pounds

Easy-peasy.

But to make it even easier, we’ve listed some of the most common examples below .

Just remember that all breeds vary a bit and individuals of some breeds may be larger or smaller than is typical for the breed.

“Large” Breeds

  • Labrador retriever
  • Golden retriever
  • American pit bull terrier
  • Staffordshire terrier
  • Siberian husky
  • Doberman pinscher
  • Great Pyrenees
  • German shepherd
  • Bernese mountain dog
  • Standard poodle
  • German shorthaired pointer

“Extra-Large” Breeds

  • Irish wolfhound
  • Scottish deerhound
  • Newfoundland
  • Tibetan mastiff
  • Neapolitan mastiff
  • Saint Bernard
  • Presa Canario
  • Anatolian Shepherd

Of course, there are dozens of other breeds who fall into one of these categories, but you get the idea. Nevertheless, when trying to determine the proper size dog crate for your dog, you’re better off using linear measurements.

We’ll explain how to do that below.

Determining the Proper Crate Size for Your Pooch

measuring dog

Finding the proper crate size for your pooch is fairly easy. Just grab your dog and a tape measure and we’ll get to work.

 Start by having your dog stand. Measure your dog from the tip of her nose to the base (not the tip) of her tail. Add 2 to 4 inches to that figure to get the proper crate length.

  Next, you’ll want to have your dog sit (a dog’s head is typically tallest when sitting). Measure the distance from the ground to the top of her head. Add 2 to 4 inches to this figure, and you have the proper height for the crate.

  These two measurements – the crate length and height – will serve as your guide. You don’t have to worry about the crate’s width, as most crates are designed with appropriate length-width ratios.

For example, if your dog is 38 inches long and 30 inches tall (while seated), she’ll need a 42-inch-long crate that is 34 inches tall. In most cases, you’ll want to focus primarily on the length of the crate when making your selection. Most large and extra-large dogs will need crates measuring between 40 and 60 inches long.

Note that some authorities recommend adding 4 to 6 inches on top of your dog’s length when selecting the proper crate size, instead of the 2- to 4-inch guideline we prefer. This is fine if you’d prefer to scale up the crate a little bit, but understand that it is not a good idea to provide your dog with a crate that is too large. Doing so will eliminate some of the benefits crates provide (more on this later), so stay in the 2- to 6-inch range.

You can theoretically go overboard on the height of the crate without causing many problems, but you’ll rarely find many super-tall crates in practice.

The 7 Best Crates for Large and Extra-Large Dogs

Now that you’re familiar with some of the most important things to look for in a crate, you’re ready to start making your choice. We’d recommend picking one of the crates listed below, as they’re all high-quality units, which have received great reviews from other big-dog owners.

Why Do You Need a Crate, Anyway?

puppy crates

A lot of owners consider crates optional, and if you put me in The Room of Absolute Truth TM , I’d probably agree that they aren’t strictly imperative.

But they are incredibly valuable and *this close* to being mandatory.

For starters, crates do five important things:

  • They give you a place to confine your dog when you aren’t home . Many dogs become destructive when left at home alone. Others may raid the garbage can, which can be dangerous (or unpleasant, depending on the garbage can he prefers). But he’ll cause relatively little trouble while sequestered in a secure dog crate with a good chew toy .
  • They give your pup a safe and secure place to hang out . Nervous dogs often like the cozy confines of a cave-like crate — it often serves as a “safe space” for them. Crates are also great for helping dogs afraid of fireworks and thunderstorms feel safe. If you have an anxious pupperino, try putting a crate cover over the crate’s frame for a cozier atmosphere.
  • They are helpful when company comes over . Visitors may find exuberant dogs a little hard to take, and even the best-behaved dogs can get in the way when you’re entertaining. But crates give you a safe and comfortable place to tuck your dog away when you have people over for dinner.
  • They provide a space-efficient place for their bed . Most dogs appreciate having a good bed and a good crate, and it is often helpful to place the bed inside the crate to minimize the amount of extra space taken up by her stuff (see our top picks for the best dog crate beds to find good options that work with the dimensions of large-sized crates).
  • They are helpful for house-breaking . Dogs don’t want to poop or pee where they sleep. Accordingly, they’ll rarely go in a crate of the proper size (read: not too large). This makes crates great tools for teaching them proper poop protocols for your home (hence the term “crate training”).

But that’s only the half of it. Crates offer a number of other benefits too, even for dogs that may not need a crate for some of the traditional reasons mentioned above .

For example, none of the criteria above apply to my Rottie.

  • Only away from me for a few hours a week and isn’t destructive during these times.
  • She feels perfectly safe anywhere she is, thank you very much.
  • Not an issue .
  • She prefers sleeping on the couch beside my computer.
  • She’s a good girl who makes poops and peeps outside.

But she has a crate, and it’s come in handy many, many times. For example:

It gives her a place to go during dinner . I don’t really have trouble setting boundaries for my little lady, but the begging eyes are powerful. So, she has to go in her crate during dinner time.

  It is very helpful when the cable guy (etc.) visits . It’s just better for all parties involved if she’s placed in her crate when these types of visitors come over.

  It’s helpful when bringing in groceries . Just to be sure she doesn’t trip me or run out the door in pursuit of a passing cat, I’ll put her in the crate while dragging in groceries or anything that requires the door to be open for a while.

  Travel-friendly crates are great on vacation . Vacations entail plenty of unusual activities and it’s just convenient to have a portable crate that serves safe place to put her when I can’t give her my undivided attention. It also ensures she won’t do anything that would cause me to lose a deposit when I’m not looking.

  It’s helpful when I’m doing anything delicate or involved . My dog is very eager to “help” fold the laundry or change the strings on my guitar, so she must often go into the crate during these times. And then there’s the vacuum cleaner…

These aren’t especially common circumstances, but you’ll undoubtedly find similar situations in your own life, during which a crate would be helpful. You’ll also find that they provide convenience in a number of ways that you’d never have predicted.

And because there is an array of affordable, collapsible options on the market, there’s little downside to getting a crate for your pooch.

Important Criteria You Should Seek in Any Dog Crate

The best insulated kennel covers

No matter how big or small your pup is, you’ll want to look for a number of important criteria when making your choice. And this goes for owners considering wire crates, plastic crates, or anything in between.

Keep the following things in mind when trying to pick a high-quality crate:

The Door Must Close Securely

Crates that don’t close securely are pretty worthless, so you’ll want to make sure that any crate you select has high-quality latches . But beware of crates with exceptionally large latching mechanisms, as some dogs will learn how to open the door themselves. 

If you have an especially escape-prone pooch, you’ll probably need a crate especially designed for Houdini dogs with double latches or more advanced locking mechanisms.

  The Crate Must Not Have Any Sharp Edges

Some poor-quality crates have rough or sharp edges, often near the welded spots where two wires meet.

You can smooth minor rough spots with a bit of sandpaper or steel wool, but crates with significant hazards should be avoided entirely.

  Two Doors Are Better than One

While crates with a single door will certainly work, double-door crates are much more convenient . They not only give your dog two ways to get in or out, they give you more flexibility with regard to placement.

For example, you’ll be able to place the crate against a wall without blocking the only entrance.

  Removable Pans Make Accident-Cleanup Easier

Accidents – whether of the tinkling or water-dish-spilling variety – will occur. But crates with a removable plastic tray are much easier to clean afterward. You won’t even have to remove your pet from the crate to do so.

Typically, removable trays are most common in metal or wire dog crates , but you may encounter a plastic model with one too.

Size-Specific Concerns: Things You Need in a Large Dog Crate

insulated covers for kennels

In addition to the generic criteria, you’d want to seek when selecting any crate, large dogs present a few unique challenges. Be sure to select a crate that provides as many of the following features as possible:

  Wheels Are Important

Large crates are bulky and heavy, which means they’re difficult to move. Therefore, you’ll want to give special consideration to models with wheels, as they’ll be easier to slide around the house when necessary.

  Rigid Models Are Strongly Preferred

While a soft dog crate can work well for a small or medium-sized doggo, large and extra-large dogs should usually be provided with a rigid crate .

You may be able to get away with a soft crate for brief periods of time (and when you’re monitoring the situation), but most large dogs will be capable of busting loose in fabric crates.

  Collapsible Crates Are Convenient

Whether you want a plastic dog crate, a wooden dog crate, or a metal model, you’ll want to stick to collapsible models if you plan on taking your crate anywhere or storing it when it isn’t needed .

Also, because you’ll likely be having the crate shipped to your home, you’ll save some money on shipping by selecting one that can be collapsed and shipped in a relatively flat box.

  Dividers Are Important for Puppies

It is always wisest to purchase a crate that will last for your dog’s entire life, rather than buying a small one when she’s a puppy and a larger crate once she becomes an adult dog. Instead, go ahead and buy a crate that is suitable for her adult size and use dividers to temporarily shrink the size of the interior. As she grows, you can remove a divider panel to provide access to the entire crate.

  Large Crates Require Thicker Wire

The wires used for small crates may not be sturdy or rigid enough to retain their structural integrity when used in big crates. Additionally, large dogs have stronger jaws and teeth than smaller dogs do. Accordingly, you’ll always want to look for crates that feature thick, strong wire (if you opt for a wire dog crate).

  Large Crates Require Sturdier Hardware

The hardware used to keep the crate together will also need to be pretty heavy-duty to prevent your pooch from busting out of her crate. This not only includes the corner connectors but the latches and hinges too.

Do you have a big or extra-big four-footer? What type of crate do you use? What size dog crate do you use for your floof? Would you buy it again if you had the chance? Let us know all about your experience in the comments below.

The 10 Best Dog Crates of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

The Spruce / Tamara Staples

The right dog crate offers a comfortable den-like space where a dog can go to feel safe. It should also be easy for you to clean and make it easy for you to access your dog. If you have a puppy, a crate is a valuable tool for potty training because dogs instinctually do not want to soil their home.

We conducted hands-on testing of 20 dog crates in our New York lab to find the best options, evaluating different styles of crates, including traditional wireframes, foldable soft-sided models, and hybrid crates that serve as functional side tables.

Our overall favorite is the MidWest Homes for Pets iCrate Single Door and Double Door Dog Crate , which is large enough to support a growing puppy and includes a crate cover, dog bed, and two detachable food bowls.

  • Ease of Setup 5 /5
  • Ease of Use 5 /5
  • Durability 4 /5
  • Ease of Cleaning 5 /5

Thoughtful, simple design

Easy to clean

Useful double doors

Door bent under pressure

Our best overall pick is the MidWest Homes for Pets iCrate Single Door and Double Door Dog Crate because of its easy assembly, thorough features, and easy-to-clean tray. While many of the other crates that we tested also scored well for their easy-to-clean surfaces, the additional divider in this crate kit set it apart from the rest. Plus, this crate’s plastic tray slides out easily, making it simple to clean if any major accidents happen. We also love that this crate has rubberized rolling buffers to protect hardwood, vinyl, or tile flooring. 

This crate from MidWest Homes for Pets passed our lab tests with perfect scores in ease of setup, use, and cleaning. Its basic aesthetic may not win any beauty contests, but it's certainly functional. We especially love the double door model, which makes it a cinch to access the crate from the front or side, adding significantly to the iCrate's flexibility.

The practicality of this crate coupled with its easy-to-collapse and easy-to-clean design can't be beat. The setup is as simple as pulling the top of the crate up and snapping the hooks into place. Removing the plastic tray is also easy, as there is a slot for it to slide out from the bottom of the crate. A security hook also ensures that the tray stays in its place when your pup is on top of it. 

The only downside we found is the door does bend slightly when it’s pulled on, not significant enough for a dog to bust through the door, but it’s still a worthy concern for any owners with  especially excitable or high-strung pooches . Despite this one design concern, we’d still recommend this crate as a reliable and basic option that’s sure to last you multiple years and withstand pet wear and tear over time.

Dimensions: 22 x 13 x 16 inches (extra-small), 24 x 18 x 19 inches (small), 30 x 19 x 21 inches (medium), 36 x 23 x 25 inches (medium/large), 42 x 28 x 31 inches (large), 48 x 30 x 33 inches (extra-large) | Material: Metal, plastic | Attributes: Collapsible, divider included, double door, removable pan, carry handle, water-resistant

Best Budget

Amazon basics soft dog travel crate.

  • Durability 5 /5
  • Ease of Cleaning 4.8 /5

Durable construction

Foldable, streamlined design

Mesh windows

Some nooks and crannies might be difficult to clean

Finding a dog crate that doesn’t break the bank but still does its job well can be challenging, but we were very impressed with this crate from Amazon Basics, which has a PVC frame with polyester and mesh fabric cover, all for a very affordable price.

This crate has three openings (one at either end of the crate and one on the top) that are secured by zippers. They can also be rolled up and fastened to the top of the crate. This crate is super lightweight, making it a great option for travel, but it doesn’t have a carrying handle. 

Overall the crate is very durable and designed to endure—it didn’t budge or break when a sandbag was thrown on top of it and at the front of it. Long term maintenance and cleaning will likely require the use of a handheld vacuum to target the smaller nooks and crannies within the crate’s frame.

Dimensions: 25.98 x 18.11 x 18.11 inches (small), 21.3 x 29.9 x 21.3 (medium), 36 x 24 x 24 (large), 42 x 31 x 31 inches (extra-large) | Material: PVC frame, polyester, mesh | Attributes: Folds flat, mesh windows, zippered entry

Best Splurge

Diggs revol dog crate.

  • Ease of Use 4.8 /5
  • Value 4.5 /5

User-friendly design and durable construction

Removable tray included

Easy to clean and set up

Not very compact when collapsed

If you’re looking for a luxurious and incredibly durable dog crate, we recommend the Diggs Revol Collapsible Dog Crate. This crate collapses when you twist the top handle, and the sides lift up, offering multiple access points for your pet.

We like the intuitive design and the heavy-duty crate is hard to budge once in place, even with 45 pounds of force directed at the door in our lab testing environment. Throwing multiple sandbags at the crate also did not impact its structure or appearance.

This crate’s tray is removable so that you can easily clean it, and it has a raised edge to prevent any leakage if accidents do happen while your pet is inside the crate. The crate’s door is secured by a latch that's released by pressing a button, so it’s much more secure than other crates that only have a sliding bolt. But the crate is  not very compact , even when it’s collapsed, so it may not be easily stored under certain pieces of furniture or in small closets. While the price point on this crate is certainly a splurge in anyone’s budget, we do believe the price fairly reflects this crate’s high quality and unique design.

Dimensions: 25 x 17 x 19 (small), 32 x 20 x 22 inches (medium), 39 x 25 x 28 (intermediate), 44 x 28 x 30 (large) | Material: High grade aluminum, steel mesh wire, reinforced plastic | Attributes: Collapsible, removable tray

Doubles as side table

Metal or acrylic door option

Two wood finishes to choose from

No removable tray

Door jiggles when closed

The overall design of the Fable Pets Crate easily double as a bedside table or end table in a family room. The dual function crate is relatively easy to put together out of the box, similar to the labor intensity of Ikea furniture.

The crate is made out of bentwood and comes in two wood finishes, signature (lighter) or walnut (darker), with the choice of a clear acrylic door or white metal door. Both door options have square-shaped cut-outs for visibility and airflow. If your dog tends to paw at the door of their crate, you might find the metal door option to be more durable.

This crate has rubber pads that  prevent it from scratching hardwood and vinyl floors , but there is no carrying handle, which could make it difficult to move from room to room. That said, we recommend finding a designated spot and sticking with it to make it feel more den-like for your dog. This crate also does not have a removable tray, so you must crouch down to reach inside for any cleaning needs.

Overall, this crate is a great option for anyone looking for lockable crate blends into decor while still being very functional.

Dimensions: 26 x 20 x 23 inches (extra-small/small), 34 x 24 x 25 inches (medium), 42 x 29.5 x 34.4 inches (large) | Material: Bent wood, metal or acrylic door | Attributes: Windows, side table

Best for Travel

Petmate pet kennel.

  • Performance 4.5 /5
  • Portability 5 /5
  • Quality 4.5 /5

Lightweight

Secure latch

Easy to assemble and use

Does not support dogs over 15 pounds

If you like to  take your dog on road trips , you should check out the Petmate Two Door Pet Kennel. It’s easy to attach the top and bottom pieces together, and the door is incredibly secure. Plus, the front and top openings allow for easy cleaning and access to your pet. In our lab testing, this crate’s door did not budge when pulled with 33 pounds of force and was not affected by the impact of a sandbag. 

The top carrying handle also makes this crate a great option for city dwellers who commute to their vet's office or groomers. While we love how convenient this crate would be for extra-small to small dog breeds, we wish it was just slightly bigger to accommodate dogs within the 20-pound range. Nonetheless, this crate is a great, lightweight option for any travel situation for owners of small dogs.

Dimensions: 24.05 x 16.8 x 14.5 inches | Material: Recycled plastic | Attributes: Top handle, two doors with secure latches

"The crate is super simple to use! The door opens easily, and it even has a top part that comes off as well to check in on your dog. The latches definitely lock in but open easily by squeezing. And it's very easy to pick up and carry! I think a 15-pound dog would be very happy in this crate!"— Maria Bouselli, product tester

Best for Flights

Petmate aspen pet porter dog kennel.

ID tags and detachable bowls included

Secure door latch

Meets most airline standards

Not portable with large dogs

If your dog is a frequent flier with you, then you’ll want a crate with a reliable closure and durable frame. The Petmate Sky Kennel Pet Carrier offers crate sizes for all dogs up to 120 pounds, and it comes with two “live animal stickers,” ID tags, and detachable food bowls.

The intuitively designed crate has a secure latch that's virtually impossible for a dog to open, even if you have a Houdini-like pup in your home. This kennel also meets most airlines’ standards for pet carriers, but be sure to consult with your preferred airline before making any flight plans with your pup. 

If you have an  especially reactive pup , keep in mind that the door to this crate may bend slightly with excessive force. While testing with roughly 68 pounds of force pulled against it, the door showed a slight bend, but overall we were impressed by the door’s durability and latch strength. This crate does not have a removable tray, but its plastic interior still make it relatively easy to clean, except for a few tight corners.

While Petmate does offer carriers with handles for their two smallest sizes (21-inch and 28-inch crates), the larger kennels may be more difficult to carry and maneuver through an airport, especially with a larger dog inside.

Dimensions: 24.5 x 18.25 x 19.5 inches; 32 x 22.5 x 24 inches; 36 x 25 x 27 inches; 40 x 27 x 30 inches | Material: Plastic, steel wire | Attributes: Side vents, wire door with latch, top handle (small sizes only)

If your dog is too large to fly in-cabin, you will need a crate that meets your airline's requirements. In general, the crate should be lockable from the outside (escape-proof), structured, ventilated, and sized appropriately for your dog.

Best Soft Crate

Elitefield soft folding dog crate.

Dual zipper flaps on sides and top

Removable, machine washable bed included

Easy to carry with side pockets for storage of small accessories

Fabric is not chew proof

For overnight stays outside of your home, the EliteField Soft Folding Dog Crate is lightweight and easy to fold.

The alloy steel frame is covered in breathable nylon that is available in various colors. Three dual zipper flaps, one on top and two on each side, enable flexibility and convenience for checking on your dog and getting them safely inside. There are also two storage pockets on the exterior for small accessories, like a leash and a collapsible bowl. Inside you'll find a removable, machine-washable bed. The crate is durable, but not chew-proof so we do not recommend it for a teething puppy. Spills and accidents can be spot cleaned as needed.

Dimensions: 20 x 14 x 14 inches (extra-small), 24 x 18 x 21 inches (small), 30 x 21 x 24 inches (medium), 36 x 24 x 28 inches (medium/large), 42 x 28 x 32 inches (large) | Material: Alloy steel, nylon | Attributes: Mesh windows, top handles, carrying bag, three zippered doors

Best Hybrid

Casual home pet crate end table.

  • Durability 4.8 /5
  • Ease of Cleaning 3.7 /5

Four wood finishes: white, espresso, black, and walnut

Space to place a padded mat

Latch on door keeps it securely shut

Top surface used as end table can support up to 120 pounds

Not chew proof

Latch can be tricky to maneuver and secure

Crate pan and dog bed sold separately

The Casual Home Pet Crate End Table is available in four wood finishes to complement your home decor while providing a cozy den for your dog. The smallest size of this crate can accommodate dogs up to 18 pounds inside and the top surface, used as an end table, can support up to 120 pounds. The extra-large version can fit dogs up to 90 pounds and support 200 pounds on top.

To secure the door shut, the latch has a three-step process: pull out, move up, and then push down into place. We found it a little difficult to maneuver which then made it easier for our dog to get out. If you have a dog that is determined to get out, this crate is not the right choice, but if you have a dog that enjoys their den space, then this is a suitable option.

The crate pan and dog bed designed for the crate are sold separately, but you can also put a blanket or mat that your dog already loves inside to help them feel comfortable in their new space. Assembly is required, but it comes together easily with clear instructions provided.

Dimensions: 20 x 27.5 x 24 inches (small), 36.5 x 24 x 29.25 inches (medium) | Material: Wood | Attributes: Lockable door, windows

Best Budget, Metal Wire

Amazon basics metal wire dog crate.

  • Ease of Use 3 /5
  • Ease of Cleaning 3.5 /5

The crate maintained shape when picked up via handle on top with a 70-pound dog inside

Durable plastic tray is easy to remove for cleaning

Two doors and an optional divider

Door latches can be difficult to maneuver

The Amazon Basics Foldable Crate Metal Wire Dog Crate is sturdy and low maintenance. We tested the two-door style with one door on the short side of the rectangular shape and the other on the long side. The door latches are difficult to maneuver at first but loosen over time with use. If you are buying this crate for a puppy, a dividing gate is provided which gives you the option to expand the interior space they have access to as they grow. A durable plastic tray sized proportionally for each crate is easy to remove for cleaning with soap and water and dries quickly.

We placed our 70-pound dog inside the largest size of this crate (48 inches) and they had sufficient space to lay down. Using the handle on top, we were able to pick up the crate for a moment. The structure remained intact and supported our dog's weight.

Dimensions: 22 x 13 x 16 inches; 24 x 18 x 20 inches; 30 x 19 x 21 inches; 36 x 23 x 25 inches; 42 x 28 x 30 inches; 48 x 30 x 32.5 inches | Material: Metal, plastic | Attributes: Double door, foldable, removable tray

Best Heavy Duty

Rock creek crates stationary dog crate.

  • Security 4 /5

Crash-tested and certified by the Center for Pet Safety

Appropriate for daily crate use and airline travel

Soft, removable pad included

10-year guarantee from manufacturer

Does not fit in all cars

The Stationary Dog Crate from Rock Creek Crates is designed to keep a dog secure and calm, even while in motion. The aluminum dog crate earned a five-star rating from the Center for Pet Safety (CPS) , a non-profit organization based in the United States that conducts automobile crash tests on travel products designed for dogs. We also tested this crate with a real dog in a real life setting, and our participating canine quickly felt at ease using the crate as their main den. The crate was also used to transport our participant dog more safely in an SUV.

The crate arrives fully assembled with a removable pad inside. It's easy to wipe clean inside and out, and has non-slip feet. The front door has a lock and key and butterfly latches to securely lock your dog safely inside for roadtrips and flights. It comes in a variety of colors and four sizes: medium (30), large (36), x-large (42), and xx-large (48). To find the right size for your dog, you should measure your dog's height and length while standing on all four paws. The medium size (30) is recommended for dogs up to 22 inches tall, and the xx-large (48) is recommended for dogs under 32 inches in height.

Depending on which crate size works for your dog, you should also double check that it will fit in your car. We found the crate to be too large to fit in a smaller hatchback, but it was easy to fit in a standard sized SUV. In addition to size, the crate on its own is heavy, so you'll need at least two adults to lift and carry. It's also more expensive than other crates on our list, but it comes with a 10-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Dimensions: 30.5 x 20 x 22.5 inches (30/medium); 36.5 x 23.5 x 27.75 inches (36/large); 42.5 x 28.5 x 32.5 inches (42/x-large); 48 x 32.25 x 35 inches (48/xx-large) | Material: Aluminum | Attributes: Lockable door, windows

The Spruce Pets / Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm

For a dependable dog crate that accommodates dogs of all shapes and sizes, we recommend the MidWest Homes for Pets iCrate Single Door and Double Door Dog Crate . It's lightweight yet durable and folds down for easy transport and storage. If you're looking to splurge on a crate with more features, check out the Diggs Revol Dog Crate . Designed with safety in mind, it has an open, inviting feel that your pup will love.

How We Tested the Dog Crates

We tested 20 dog crates in  The Lab  in Industry City, Brooklyn. After setting up each crate, we conducted multiple strength tests on the crates to rate their durability. We asked each tester to place a 25- and 10-pound sandbag inside the dog crate and then apply 40 pounds of pulling pressure onto the door of the crate with a luggage scale. Testers then rated (out of 5) the crates on whether the door popped open, warped, or broke from the pressure of the scale. We also asked testers to throw a 25-pound sandbag at the side of each crate (this test was skipped for soft-sided crates) and rate its appearance and durability after the impact of the sandbag. 

In addition to these strength tests, our testers also made judgments on each crate’s overall appearance, ease of use, and ease of cleaning. We also asked our testers to consider which categories or scenarios each crate would be best suited for and, finally, asked them to consider the crate’s overall value.

What to Look for in Dog Crates

Types of crates.

Wireframe Crate: Versatile style is easy to clean, collapsible, and often includes a divider to grow along with a puppy.

Carrier Crate: A structured kennel equipped with a handle is ideal for travel and may also function as the main den for a puppy or foster dog.

Foldable Crate: Easy to fold and to setup making this style amendable to travel and temporary extended stays.

Side Table Crate: The top external surface of the crate is functional for use as a side table or end table allowing the crate to blend into a room.

Aluminum Crate: Heavy-duty structured space provides lockable gate and maximum protection for travel at high speeds.

Safety is arguably the most important factor to consider when purchasing a dog crate, but the level of safety depends on the life stage and temperament of your pup. For example, a wooden crate might be safe for more mellow dogs who don't chew, but those with puppies or chewers will want to avoid this type.

Generally speaking, you’ll want to make sure that the crate has a stable frame that won't flip over or let your dog escape. Wire mesh options can pose more safety concerns , so you'll want to go for a durable, high-gauge metal option. This will minimize any possible injuries, like getting paws stuck in the wire or breaking out of the crate entirely, and give you greater peace of mind. Plastic options generally come with fewer safety risks, but you'll still want to make sure that the crate is chew-resistant, with no detachable pieces that can be swallowed or eaten.

The ideal crate size allows your pup to fully stand up and lie down, with room to stretch to his full body length without being constrained. But dogs still like a den-like experience, so make sure that the crate isn’t  too  big (for example, a smaller breed shouldn’t be housed in a crate intended for larger breeds).

So, when shopping for a crate, you’ll want to consult a dog crate size chart , considering your dog’s shape and size. Those needing crates for puppies might opt for a model that comes with divider panels, which allow the crate to grow with your pooch (and also come in handy for training).

Apart from practical design elements like a removable tray—more on that below—you’ll also want to consider the overall look of your potential crate. Your dog’s crate is most likely something you and your family will be seeing often, after all.

While a traditional wire mesh crate is neutral enough, if you’re looking for something that will either blend in or stand out a bit more, there are plenty of options. Those with wooden furniture might opt for a wooden crate, which is perfectly suited for the  living room area  (though those with puppies or chewers should opt for a more durable option). And if you want something a bit more Instagram-worthy, opt for something like the Diggs Revol Dog Crate, which is just as practical as it is easy on the eyes.

Dividers are a great way for your crate to grow with your dog, reducing the need to buy a new crate several times a year. As your puppy grows, you can adjust the amount of living space to suit her needs. Additionally, if you have  two dogs  that don’t get along, you can use a divider to split up their crate. Just make sure that each pup has enough space to do its thing.

Removable Tray

Ideally, your pup won’t be in a crate long enough to have to “do their business.” But accidents again, and when they do, you’ll be glad to have a tray that you can remove for cleaning. Luckily, most crates come with this feature; if not, you can purchase a separate fabric pad that will absorb any urine or other messes.

Casters can prove super useful for at-home crate use, as they allow you to more easily move your pup’s crate from one room to another. This is particularly great for puppies; when they’re still young and potty training, you can keep the crate in your bedroom or hallway (as you would a baby), and as they get older, you can move it to your living room or kitchen area. Just make sure to lock the casters in place every time to minimize accidents or tip-overs. 

Measure your dog's height (top of head to front paws) and length (nose to tail) while they are standing on all four paws. Then add 2 to 4 inches on each measurement to help guide your sizing choice. Your dog should be able to stand up, sit, lay down, stretch, and spin around, but they shouldn't have too much extra space.

For most, a wireframe crate is sufficient for home use. It can serve as your dog's main den and help with potty training. You might need more than one crate depending on your lifestyle, whether you plan to travel with your dog, and the size of your dog.

Ask a question

The Kleinmetall VarioCage dog crate is a premium travel cage, ensuring the best possible protection for your pet and all passengers in your Chrysler Voyager III. The VarioCage is equipped with a crumple zone and was crash-tested for frontal collision, rear-end collision and dropping, which is world-unique. The crash tests were performed by the SP, the swedish national testing and research institute, according to the SPCT crash method (Safe Pet Crate Test). The door has a two-step lock, to ensure that the cage remains closed in the event of a collision. Thanks to the one-hand quick release the door opens quickly and easily. A gas spring keeps the door open, while your pet is getting in or out. The dog crate is lockable with the built-in safety lock. Additionally the VarioCage door is equipped with eyes for the use of a padlock. The emergency escape hatch at the rear seat side enables the rescue of your dog in case the tailgate of the car is blocked due to an accident.

The VarioCage is available in different sizes and in two widths: single box or double box. Each VarioCage is adjustable in length and therefore fits in many car models. In order to make optimal use of the boot space, the front and back walls are slightly sloped.

Product features:

  • With crumple zone - maximum safety for your pet
  • Crash-test certified by the SP, the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute
  • Adjustable in length
  • Emergency escape hatch at the rear seat side
  • One-hand quick release door handle with two-step lock
  • Gas spring keeps door open while your pet is getting in or out
  • Built-in key lock
  • Additional eyes to enable the use of a padlock
  • Double box versions have an easy removable separation wall, so they can optionally be used as one big box

Solid, well thought-out construction Just as solid as hoped, easy to put together. Proud price, but my bitch is worth it to me. I have a bus that has been converted into a mini camper. I can only place the box in the aisle and fix it there securely with straps. The box must hold! So I can't need plugged thin sidewalls, plastic connectors etc.
Solide, durchdachte Konstruktion Genau so solide wie gehofft, leicht zusammen zu bauen. Stolzer Preis, aber meine Hündin ist es mir wert. Habe einen zum MiniCamper ausgebauten Bus. Ich kann die Box nur in den Gang stellen und dort sicher mit Spannbändern fixieren. Die Box muss halten! Daher kann ich keine gesteckten dünnen Seitenwände, Kunststoffverbinder etc. brauchen.

don't follow the angle of the backseat... does not follow the angle of the back seat, so that a lot of space is lost. she can only fit in the smallest in the trunk because of the rear window. if you want to make it bigger, the back seat has to be flat and that is not really safe and a loss of space
volgd niet de hoek van de achterbank… volgd niet de hoek van de achterbank ,waardoor er veel plaats verspeeld wordt . ze kan enkel op het kleinst in de koffer ivm de achterruit . wil je hem groter zetten moet de achterbank plat en datis niet echt veilig en plaatsverlies

When you crate train your pup, their dog crate can quickly become one of their favorite places to feel safe, cozy, and comfortable. Dog crates are a safe space to call their own and keep them comfortable no matter the time of day.

If you’re looking for the best dog crate for your canine companion, let us help you find what you need.

Dog crates can differ from dog kennels because a dog kennel is usually slightly larger than a crate. Both crates and dog kennels come in various sizes for you to shop. Dog crates, kennels and containment supplies can all be good options for keeping pups in a safe, designated space.

You’re bound to find exactly what you need to care for your pup at PetSmart. In addition to finding the best dog crate, we’ve got other dog supplies for you to shop. We carry supplies for many dogs like dog containment products , including dog backpacks , dog car barriers , dog car booster seats , dog doors/gates , dog fence systems , dog houses/pens , dog mats/crate covers , dog strollers , dog food , dog treats , dog grooming supplies , dog collars and more. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is it better for a dog to sleep in a dog crate.

Many people use dog crates for crate training their pups, setting boundaries, or containing them for their comfort/safety. A dog crate can be different from a dog kennel because a dog kennel can be larger. Finding the best dog crate for your pup can create a safe spot for them to sleep in or relax. 

How long can dogs stay in a crate?

Dog crates, sometimes called cages or kennels, are a contained area that a dog can reside in for short bursts of time. These containers are big enough to hold a dog but small enough that the dog isn’t roaming around. 

How big should a dog crate be?

If you have a puppy, get a dog crate size that will fit them when they’ve grown to their adult size, and add a divider to make it smaller. If the dog crate is too big, they might try and use the bathroom at one end. However, you want to ensure your dog crate has enough room for your pet to comfortably stand, sit and turn around.

What should go in a dog crate?

Your dog’s crate should be a comfortable and comforting place. Try a crate mat/liner to make it more comfortable, since most dog crate options have a plastic tray at the bottom. Make sure to observe your pup’s behavior in their dog crate to ensure the crate and anything you put in it are suitable for your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  

What size crate do large dogs need?

To find large dog crates, measure your dog’s length from nose to tail, then measure the length between their shoulders. Ensure your dog crate’s dimensions measure up to provide more space than the dog will take up. You want your big dog to be able to stand up, turn around and sit down comfortably in their dog crate.

Is it OK to crate a large dog?

Many dogs are fine to be crated for short periods of time. If you have a large dog, make sure to find a crate that fits them comfortably and gives them plenty of room to relax. If suitable for your pup, you may want to add in a few dog toys and a cozy bed for your pup to enjoy. Be sure to provide appropriate supervision and remove anything that is inappropriate for your pet.

Should you cover a big dog crate?

You can partially cover your big dog’s crate at night or during quiet hours to block out excess noise. However, make sure you leave them plenty of uncovered space on their large crate to allow for healthy airflow and observe your pet to make sure they aren't trying to chew on the cover.

Kuskovo Park

Kuskovo Park is one of the oldest country estates in Moscow. It was given to General Sheremetev by Peter the Great in 1715, but was left to fall into neglect before being plundered by Napoleon’s troops in 1812. Nowadays the estate has been restored to its former glory and is a good example of Russian 18th Century imperial architecture. The palace is a fine and rare example of wooden neoclassicism. It was completed in 1775, and the rich interiors remain unchanged since 1779. It includes a room hung with exclusive exquisite Flemish tapestries, an abundance of silk wallpaper and an impressive collection of 18th century European and Russian paintings. The palace looks onto the lake, which is surrounded by smaller pavilions: pretty Italian, Dutch and Swiss Cottages, Blank’s Hermitage and the old Orangery, where the State Ceramics Museum is located now, an extensive and absorbing collection of porcelain from the 18th century to the present day. On the other side of the lake is a large wood popular with local cyclists and joggers.
