Materials

Choosing the Right Size
To ensure the best fit for your dog, accurate measurements are essential. The crate should provide enough space for your dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
Sizing Guidelines:
- Length: While your dog is standing, measure from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail. Add 3-4 inches to this measurement for sufficient movement space.
- Height: While your dog is sitting, measure from the top of its head to the floor. Add 3-4 inches to this measurement for sufficient movement space.
This XL model is suitable for dogs up to 85 lbs, with a recommended height of ≤ 26 inches and length of ≤ 39 inches.

Operating Instructions
Sliding Barn Door Operation
