What size dog crate do you need for a Labrador?

For an adult Labrador Retriever, you’ll need a large dog crate that measures about 42 inches long, 28 inches wide, and 30 inches high. 

This size provides most adult Labs with enough room to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. If your Lab is especially large (more than 90 pounds or very tall), you might want to size up to a 48-inch crate.

If you’re crate-training a Labrador puppy , you can start with a full-size crate and use a divider panel to adjust the space as they grow. This helps avoid accidents and gives your pup just enough room while they’re learning to become house-trained.
