We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.
I am looking to get Stella a crate. What size do I get?? I think she will end up weighing about 115 full grown. any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Petsmart has a supersized for danes but its more than stella will need most likely and its really not very sturdy. I used the biggest one petco carries I think its 32" tall until my boy was about 120lbs or so. I like it because its sturdy and folds up for travel easily.
Kong extra large.
Has the double doors, front and side for easier placement, and will fit her no problem.
Black Jack is a big boy 27.5-28" and 135 lean and he has ample room in it.
Petsmart carries them
Craigslist is a great place to scour for a crate. Obviously proceed with caution and clean the heck out of it if you buy one. I got a crate that was normally 150+ for about 40 bucks.
I got a large collapsible crate from a friend of mine for Leo. It is sold at Petco. It is not the largest size but it is one size down. I believe the size of the crate will be fine for Leo when full grown, and I really like the 2 door options, but I have one issue that I wish I had thought about when buying it. Right now Leo at 5 months can walk into the crate just fine, but it wont be long until he is too tall for the door. We have a bed inside that fills the entire base, so he does step up slightly which limits the clearance height some, but it will be an issue. At some point I will probably grind off the cross bars so he does not have to duck to get into his crate. Like I said I wish I had considered that before the purchase, but all other things considered I am very happy with this crate.
I have the fold up wire cage from PetCo that is 32" tall. Not tall enough her anymore (she's 30" and can't sit well in it) but it works for the 4 times a year I use it. Also, for the longest time we had a Vari-Kennel which was taller and longer. She did get really hot in it and always had to have a fan on.
