  How to Measure your Dog for a Crate The measurements of your crate are very important for your pet's safe, comfortable confinement and travel. This diagram will give you a little help Length: is from the from the front breast bone to the base of tail plus 2" for medium breeds and 6" for large breeds. Height: is from the floor to the shoulder plus 3"-6". (For airline travel, it is necessary that the crate be as tall as your pet's head, and he should be able to stand in a natural manner as well as turn around and lie down.) For housetraining you might choose one that will fit your pet as an adult so that it provides life-long service. To estimate his adult size check the breed standard. (Most breed standards, however, measure your pet at the shoulder.) Width: is a couple of inches less than height at the shoulder. Remember, Wire crates can never be used for airline travel.
