We are buying the midewest 42X28X30 crate with divider for our new lab puppy - what size bed should we get if we use divider?

A bed that will fit the entire crate. The divider stays an inch or two off the floor of the crate, it allows room for a full sized bed. I had no trouble with either of my crates using their dividers on top of full sized beds. Just make sure the bed doesn't have a HUGE outer edge and you're fine.

Being I didn't split mine my guess would be to divide the cage dimensions and subtract an inch. Better a tad smaller than it riding up the wall.

A smaller crate would work fine. My dog weighs in at 45 pounds and sometimes shares her bed with her 40 pound sister. so I would recommend a much smaller home for your pet.

I have the 36X24 and its pretty big. I think for a setter or lab when grown. I think you would need to go down at 1 size maybe 2. It can be adjusted inside so maybe a little bigger wouldn't matter. I hope that helps some.

I would get the 30 in so the dog can grow into it and you won't have to buy another one later. This size may come with a divider so the dog doesn't have the full space.

Medium crate is fine for short periods. However since my ChiPoodle is left home alone while I work I actually have the one for large dogs. It works great she has plenty of room to stretch and play.

My Katie is only 10 pounds and I bought the smaller crate. The medium could be big enough, but not sure. You can go to the Carlson website and get a more accurate interior size details. Depends on how long your dog will be crated, and how much room you want for moving around. I wish they made a larger size. Love how these crates are so well made.

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.

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.

The divider panel is designed to temporarily reduce the inside size of the crate to keep the young pup 'cozy' in their den then as the pup grows the divider can be moved or completely removed. I think many dog experts (which I am NOT) would advise against having the crate for both sleeping quarters and a bathroom.

I would order a smaller size. Even if the bed rolled up on the sides of your crate I don't think it would lay right. The bed is thick doesn't really have much give to it. Great bed though!!!!

The bed is pretty big! Not sure how big your crate is, but the bed would not fit in the large one we had...plus, how would the dog get in and out of it in the crate?

Hi - the medium bed is 34 Inches x 22 Inches and it ran true to size. So, for a 125 lb dog, I think you will need a larger bed. My dog is only 65 lbs and the medium is the perfect size for his crate. I will be getting the large (46 Inch x 28 Inch) as a real dog bed. You may want to measure the bed you have now before you order to be sure it will be roomy enough for your dog. Good luck!

The height of the dog should determine what size that you get more than pound size. Measure your dog while it is in a sitting position. If he is say, 24 inches from the head to feet then I would buy the 27 inch high crate. If it is a puppy, then allow room for growth.They should be able to sit in their crate and turn around comfortably. Don't buy one that your dog has to duck to sit in. Hope this helps.

That's the size I bought, and its a really sturdy and well-made crate. It does come with a divider and I really enjoy it. My dog chews a lot but the metal bars arr holding up to her constant teething. I definitely reccomend!

If your dog is still growing I would go with the 42" crate because my dog is 60 lbs. and 34" high from the top of his head to the floor and he has plenty of room to stand up an move around.

the divider panel is to make the space smaller for a puppy so they DON'T go potty in the crate. They cannot get to the other side. When they grow bigger simply remove panel. I don't recommend allowing your puppy to potty in a small crate or space. You will not be able to potty train them. The instinct is to not dirty their home.

Hello, The 1" gap is for the bed to be able to fit into the crate, while all crates have size discrepancy errors for 1 inches depend on the manufacturer(s). We only can promise that this bed is measured at 41"X27"X4" once it is fully expanded; since we really don't know the precise measurement of the customer's crate(s). All standard large crates are measured at 42" in length and 28" in width. Again, it may be up to 1" of size error based on the crates' manufacturer(s). Thank you and have a great day.
