This says for 50-70 lb dogs, mine is 52lb Aussie, but airline requires that his ears do not touch the top when standing. He looks taller than kennel

My black lab is 51 pnds and cannot stand up comfortably in this without her head touching the top.

I have a 55lb pittie mix with GIANT ears. I raised that same question with the cargo handlers and they said as long as his head wasn't touching he was ok, BUT that TSA would have the final say since he was flying as a cargo passenger and not on a cargo plane.My best advice is to touch base with your carrier directly and/or TSA.

My 50 lbs. Pitbull had lots of room to move, even with several piles of bedding.

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.

My dogs are 12 and under. I think this might be a bit small for your 45# dog. I think the info said up to 30#. I would call the company and ask them. My dogs love it

If you really need a good suggestion I would like to know his/her age, weight, hight and length. My dog is a mixed breed with long body and long legs. I guess she is a in between sizes for the other manufactures' crates. They are either too small or too big. Some manufacture offer buying guide based on dog's weight. That didn't work for our tall and thin dog. Some older dogs can be less flexible that they need more room to turn around in it too. If your dog is still a puppy, get used ones until he stop growing. The rule of sum is the crate should be tall enought for him to stand and wide or long enough for her to turn around. I hope this will help you. Good luck!

Yes, our dog is a Lab-Shepard cross well over 70 pounds. He can easily stand and turn in this kennel.

I would think that the height of your lab would be the issue. My Standard Poodle weighs 53 pounds and is 23 inches from the shoulder. He does fine: can turn around and lie down but is unable to stand up in it unless he needs to jump out. Hope this helps!

How tall is she? My 2 year old Male German Shepherd that is around 27" tall has plenty of room. His ears stick out the top but they're always erect, so with her being a Great Dane she is probably taller and might not be able to fully stand up. As far as space, my GSD has plenty of area to lay down and sprawl out.

I have the same question. My dog is also an Australian Heeler 35 pounds....

I bought this kennel for my dog who weighs appox. 50lbs and is 20 inches high at the withers. Basically he is part golden and wheaten terrier.

Our dog is 45-50 pounds. It works fine but he has learned how many beeps he has before he gets shocked. This still allows him to get in and out. Unfortunately you cannot adjust this.

It depends on how tall he is and how much he weighs. My Maltipoo is 5 lbs and about10 inches tall and she loves her crate.

My dog is 78 lbs., so I don't feel qualified to answer your question. Perhaps ask your vet.

Good Sunday morning! We have the XL model and can accommodate two dogs. One is a 70 lb. Olde English Bulldogge and the other is a Boston Terrier mix about 38 lbs. Having four wheels is key as the weight shift within is inevitable as they move around so won't tip over. Most of the upper part of the carrier is mesh. The top unzips and so does the whole front end for ease of entry/exit. The carrier sits about 5-6" off the ground so not too difficult to help an ailing dog inside. Our Bulldogge is invalid and frequently needs a "boost" to get inside and BOTH dogs love it! We put a cushion inside to lay on as the floor is firm. Would strongly recommend this carrier. Hope that helps!!

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.

I would say "no". My Doberman/lab mix is only 65 lbs, and I want him to stretch out as he grows. I got him when he was a tiny puppy and first bought the 36" version and before he was 5 months old, he had already out grew it and had to buy him the 42" version. I tend to upgrade when the top of his head can touch the top of the kennel. Now it is time to buy the 48" version unfortunately. I hadn't planned on this dog getting so big! If you haven't already purchased this, I recommend you go with the 48".

He will be able to stand inside but will have difficulty to turn around. I would look for a larger sized kennel.

It depends on her size and weight my shih tzu La La is 7 pounds and fits nicely they have to be able to stand up and turn around in the bag to appease the airlines, measure your dog from the tips of ears to the bottom of feet, then across chest next from nose to the tail. Revisit the measurements of the bag and decide if it will work for your dog.
