General information, not veterinary advice. Breeds, mixes and individual puppies vary; your vet can tell you how your puppy is growing.

Crate size by grown weight

Crates are sold by length. Pupsize estimates your puppy's adult weight, takes the top of the range, and picks the length from the chart below. Use the crate's divider panel so your puppy has a snug space now, and move it back as it grows.
