What size of crate should we get for our puppy?
Get the size of the crate big enough to fit adult
Cavalier - app. 36" L, 21" W, and 26" H. It is a good idea to get a small enclosure, play pen (like a fencing) as well - if you don't have any other safe place for your puppy when you are not home, or for a night time. Inside the enclosure you need to place a dish for water, which should be available all the time, then you can place the crate there (that would be a place for the puppy to sleep). |
Never leave the puppy in the crate with the door closed overnight. The play-pen will be also the place
where the puppy can do its "business" and not to make a "mess" in the crate.
