How to Size Dog Crates for Retail Buyers
A sourcing checklist for crate, kennel and travel-product sizing, carton planning and buyer education.
Crate sizing
Use pet fit and carton volume together
Crates and travel goods are freight-sensitive. The right quote needs size, foldability, carton and use-case details.
- Confirm pet length, height, weight range and usable interior dimensions.
- Separate home crates, soft carriers, car restraints and travel kennels.
- Ask for folded size, carton dimensions, gross weight and pack quantity.
- Include setup, cleaning and fit instructions in retail packaging.
