Choosing The Perfect Extra Large Dog Crate

An extra large dog crate is typically sized at 42
inches long and can suit many large breeds of dog
like a German Shepherd, Labrador, Rottweiler or
Golden Retriever that have a maximum weight of
around 90 pounds. To ensure your dog will be
comfortable in an extra large dog crate you
should measure them to check they'll easily be
able to turn around inside it. If they have too
much space (or too little) then you may need to
look at a different size of crate. Several of
the more popular extra large dog crates are
listed below.

1. Remington Wire Kennel

This extra large dog crate is relatively
inexpensive given its simple wire construction
and like all wire crates can make a great
all-purpose crate - be it for toilet training a
puppy (with the addition of a crate divider),
traveling in the car or exhibiting at the dog
show. It is relatively lightweight and easy to
carry with its foldable design, but some owners
note that this also makes it somewhat unsuitable
for dogs who aren't already crate-trained as
anxious dogs of a large size are quite likely to
find a way to escape.

2. Petmate Vari Kennel Ultra Fashion

This is a plastic crate that comes in a range of
sizes and stylish color choices that are a
departure from the relatively plain nature most
crates seem to have. It is a good choice for
transporting your large dog by air as it meets
USDA and IATA requirements thanks to features
such as durable plastic, wire windows and a
secure locking door.

3. Midwest Life Stages Folding Metal Crate

This is perhaps the most well-known of all wire
crates and is somewhat more expensive than
similar crates from other manufacturers. One of
its most distinctive features is its included
divider panel that allows you to change the size
of the crate as your dog grows - hence the name.
This makes it popular for people who want to buy
one crate for their dog as a puppy to toilet
train them, and also use the same crate once
their dog is fully grown. It is highly
recommended as a training crate, but with
features like secure latches it can make a great
option for car travel as well.

4. Mr. Herzher's Wicker Pet Residence

If you want an extra large dog crate with a bit
more style about it, then this is one of the
better choices. The problem with many dog
crates, as you know, is they do not make a very
attractive addition to the decor of your home -
if your main goal is to find a crate for your
dog to stay while inside the house then wooden
crates or a wicker crate such as this make a
good-looking solution. The main issue is that
they are significantly more expensive than any
other type of crate, and they are generally only
designed for home use. If your dog isn't
crate-trained or gets anxious when inside a
crate then they may chew on it, so it isn't
recommended in this case as the design isn't
very durable. If you have a dog that is already
crate-trained, however, and all you want is a
great-looking extra large dog crate for them to
stay in at home then this is the option for you.
