What size dog carrier for what dog?
The dog does not need to stand upright in the crate, unless you regularly make long journeys.
These crate sizes are based on the largest dog breeds (males). If your pet is smaller or has a different body type, please consider crates with a smaller size than those listed.
Furthermore, we are able to make your dog carrier to your own dimensions. This means that we can adapt to any vehicle and any dog.
As a reminder, you can measure your pet in this way: a dog's height is measured from the ground to its withers, i.e. the point where its neck and back meet. In other words, the top of the shoulder blades.
