What size dog travel crate should i buy for my pup?

If you are getting ready to travel with your pup and want to ensure their safety and comfort, choosing the right size travel crate is essential. With so many sizes and types of dog travel crates available, it can be hard to decide which one is right for your pup. Here is what you need to know when selecting a dog travel crate.

The first step in choosing the right size travel crate for your pup is measuring them accurately. When measuring, remember that most manufacturers use external measurements when determining the size of their crates, so take two measurements: from the top of their head to the floor (height) and from the nose to the base of their tail (length). It's also a good idea to leave some extra room for your pup, since he will likely move around in his crate during transit.

Once you have accurate measurements, you can begin selecting a crate size that will comfortably fit your pup's height and length. For example, if your pup's height is 15 inches and length is 20 inches, look for crates that measure 17x22 inches or larger (again taking into account extra room). Some animal supply stores have helpful diagrams on display that allow you compare your pup's measurements with different types and sizes of pet carriers. Additionally, many online stores provide sizing charts – so if in doubt check it out!

In addition to selecting the right size crate for your pup, make sure that it provides adequate air circulation while they are travelling as well as enough ventilation holes on either side of the door or at least one overhead vent located at one end of the kennel. Consider also whether you will need additional features such as dividers or removable plastic trays. Finally, if traveling by plane or other form of public transportation make sure that it meets all necessary requirements well before travelling day arrives.
