IS THIS A GOOD SIZE CRATE FOR A 42LB DOG?

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.

Yes it's very good for a 42lb dog. Our dog is about 35lbs she is 5mon and will probably be 2 times that size in 5 more months but she has plenty on room in that crate.

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 would say no. it would work as a puppy crate, but my white shepherd sticks his ears through the top. I'm thinking about getting him a bigger one, and he's only around 85lbs. A Great Dane will be much larger!!!

Mine measures l 52' x w 39' x h 44" it's good sized not real crazy about the top door but it's a good crate. I whelped a litter of gsd

Absolutely. I bought it for my Dachshund who weighs 17 lbs. Dachshunds have a longer body, but he has enough room to stretch and even have a water bowl attached to the crate inside.

Currently, I have the 36" crate for my GSMD pup. He's only about 25 pounds right now. The crate seems to be ok, for now, however it does not hold a firm shape; it will bend and move if nudged, but it has never collapsed. The edges of the create are held together by metal clips. It does the job, but I wouldn't buy it again.

It depends on how big your dog is expected to be at full size. I have a 65-pound pit bull, and the 36" fit perfectly. A nice included feature is the adjustable divider, which allows the size of the crate to be adjusted as the puppy grows.

Yes. You need to buy the correct size for your crate so you would want a 42 by 28 inch size, but the Velcro closings are on all four of the sides, so you can raise or lower any of the sides. It works very well.

I have a 12 pound pug/Brussels griffon mix in this size (medium) crate for short periods of time. If we leave the house for more than 2 hours, he goes in the next size bigger. They say a dog needs to be able to stand up and turn around in a crate. I like it to be a little larger than that, though. At 4 lbs, your dog will fit fine in this size.

My dog is about 15 lbs. and he has plenty of room. He naps in it quite a bit during the day, and doesn't seem to mind going in when I leave the house. The crate is very sturdy, and easy to fold down, plus the color is nice.

I have a Great Dane who is 38" at the shoulder. He fits comfortably in this crate.

Yes. I have a 55lb mixed breed and he does fine in this. Crates should not be too roomy, especially when traveling. Too much space makes them insecure, and uncomfortable with changes in motion. For crate training a dog is fine if he has to duck his head a little. Measure for height from the shoulders.

Yes, I have my 79lb dog in my crate. He is very comfortable in it, of course he does get plenty of exercise outside of his crate.

I would recommend 6 to 8 - assuming the dog that has that crate is large. I have 6 on my 42" crate.

Yea, we kept our Cav in it until she was about 20 lbs. This is a great dog crate. We bought the same thing only the next size to accommodate her as she gets bigger.

We have the crate in a 42 x 26 x 30 and our Greater Swiss Mountain/Pointer can lie in every position with room left over. (We initially ordered the crate in one size lower, but like this one better.) He weighs 73 lbs. I love this crate, especially the doors on both sides and how easy it is to remove/attach the doors. More importantly, my dog loves it!

I would say this is a size that will work for you. My boxer/pit mix is 55 and very thick and she seems to fit comfortably with room to spare. Her normal crate is a bit bigger but this one is work great for us for just a weekend at a friends.

My little guy is only 5.5 lbs and he is a year old. This is actually a bit too big for him but he has plenty of room in it. I would think a dog no bigger than 20 pounds for the 24" crate.
