Would the 36 inch crate work for a 70 lb female lab to be used for vacations? The 42 in I think is too big for my trunk

We have a 50lb. Cattle Dog/ Shepard mix who has more than enough room. I think you'd be okay with a 70lb. female lab.

Our male lab is only 55 lbs - it all depends on her size, not her weight. I think though that unless she is really large, the 36" would work. Just be careful though, as a couple of our friends use these and if they have "chewing" dogs and dogs that don't like to be in the crate, they can easily tear their way through.

Yes, I have a 70 lb male golden and it's a perfect size for him. I really like this crate and highly recommend it. The only down side I have found is that the zippers are a little light-weight.

You need to measure your space. The crate is 36 inches tall --- is the back of your suv that tall?Then measure the width in your suv. Is it more than 24 inches? Then you're okay. Then measure width -- it has to be wider than 28 inches for the crate to fit. It fits in the back of my Toyota Highlander, no problem. Also -- weight of dog is not a factor in whether or not it will fit. But this crate is big enough for your dog. Hope that helps>>>>>

My viezla/lab mix weighs 60 lbs, and is kind of tall and leggy. He fits comfortably in the 36x24x28" crate. It's actually pretty roomy. The crate also fits in the back of my Subaru Forester.

I have a 45 pound dog in a 36 inch craate. It fits her fine. It was suggested that I use 6 castors but I found them annoying to install and used only 4. That was not a good choice but I have never used the other 2 because once she setteled in to my home anad cats I din't need to roll her around. I am very pleased with the crate.

Yes. I have a lab and she does the same thing. She is about 70 pounds and has plenty of room.

Aristea. I don't know what kind of dog it is, I would think the 36 inch crate would be big enough for a 40 lb. dog. If the dog is housetrained and you want him to have plenty of room to stretch out, get te bigger crate.

It should. I think I've only done it once but collapsed its roughly the size of the bottom pan of the crate and should fit in your backseat. If I were you I'd take that dimensions of the base of the crate and measure against your backseat with the doors closed. Doors open might be misleading because although it may fit it may cause challenges with closing the door. Hope this helps!

I have a 70 LB Greyhound and the 42" crate is more than enough for her. She actually can lay, stand, turn around(which for a Greyhound they need a wide area to do that) stretched out or curl up in a ball (which she does most in the far back or the crate. and still have half of the crate space left. She sleeps in the crate most the day. I just leave the door open and clean bedding. She love to go in it when she wants her down time. At night after all have turned in for the night .. Then the sofa is her bed!, lol

I got the 42" and it holed my 4 medium sized dogs comfortably (they're cuddlers) when they lay down. You probably don't need one this big. It's also very tall, so it might not be best for a road trip if you want it on the back seat. It would probably be fine in the trunk of an SUV. Hope that helps!

Yes. I have two 40 lb basset/corgi mixes and they both fit in it comfortably with room to lay down. They are very short but could be twice as tall and still comfortably share this crate.

I have this crate & also had a Golden many years ago, Kathy. It will not be big enough, using it for a much smaller dog. Good luck on finding one, it is a big decision.

My crate is a Midwest 1530 which measures 30 inches in length. This cover fits exactly. It would not fit a crate that is 36" long

It is plenty big on the inside. We have a 32lb brittany and she has more than enough room. Friends of ours bought the same crate for their weimeraner and he can stretch out nicely. Not sure if the height will be suitable for you, but the lid IS removable.

I can't answer whether it is big enough but the Midwest iCrate I bought for my Bichon is very sturdy and very well made. I would definetly recommend this crate.

My 55 lb lab fits with room to spare. That being said she may be shorter than your dog. She is 19 inches tall and the crate is 26 inches high, by my measurements.
