Firstly, How Big Are Siberian Huskies? – Weight, Height and Length

Huskies are generally the size of a medium to large dog breed, and an average weight and height for a Husky might be anywhere between:

• Weight – 35 to 60 lbs
• Height – 20 to 23 inches

It’s best to measure your own Husky and get their weight, height and length.

For height, you want to measure from the ground/paws to the top of the head.

For length, you want to measure from the base of the tail to the tip of the nose.

Weight is pretty self explanatory.

Best Size Dog Crate For A Siberian Husky – What Size To Get? – Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large Crates

Most of the good crate manufacturers give you really quick and simple information for measuring your dog for a crate.

They sometimes even make a general suggestion of the size of their crate you might get for a certain dog breed, or for a size of dog breed. 

For example, with the Midwest iCrate, the 42 inch Crate is suggested for large breeds. Huskies in general fit into this range.

Don’t take this suggestion as exact though – make sure you compare the L x W x H measurements they give in the crate product description against the dimensions of your own dog/s.

For most crates, your Husky should have enough room inside the crate (which is why the interior dimensions of the crate are so important to know) to:

• Stand up – find out the overall interior height, length and width of the crate
• Turn around – find out the length and width of the walls
• and lay down – find out the length and width of the base of the crate 

Ideally, you want to have 2 to 4 inches of space available each way to increase the likelihood your dog feels comfortable and like there is enough room inside the crate.

They should also be able to go in and out of the crate easily – so check the height and width of the doors in relation to your dog’s height.

If the crate has a weight capacity i.e. a maximum weight it can support, you also want to know that and make sure your dog comes in under that max capacity.

What Size Dog Crate Do I Get For A Siberian Husky Puppy?

Some people get the dog crates with panel dividers, but to be honest, in the popular dog crate, these crate panel dividers don’t do much usually.

Most owners simple choose to pick a dog crate based on how big they think their dog will be when full grown, or what the average size is for a full grown adult in their dog’s breed.

So, for example, with an average Husky puppy you may simply choose to get a 42 inch crate and let them grow into the crate as they develop physically.

How To Choose A Dog Crate Type For Your Siberian Husky – Type, Price and Uses

The metal wire dog crates are the most popular. They have decent strength, fold up, can be stored away, can be transported in a car, can be set up easily, can be cleaned easily and are affordable.

Apart from the metal wire dog crates, you may get the following types of crates for the following main features and uses:

Soft Dog Crate – biggest strength of soft crates is how lightweight they are and how portable they are. Great for indoors and outdoors, and for trips around town, as well as for vacations and camping trips. Are affordable, easy to clean, fold up and down. Made of a soft fabric, and a metal frame.

Plastic Dog Crate – most people get plastic crates as travel carriers to and from the vets, and get airline approved plastic crates for checked baggage/cargo pet crate transport. Plastic crates are lightweight. As they get bigger, they do get weaker though, and have a few design flaws with how they can align up and their design.

Wooden Dog Crate – wooden crates look similar to furniture. They are purely indoor crates, and are good for matching with your interior furniture and decor. Wood end tables are the most common wooden dog crates.

Heavy Duty Plastic Dog Crates – A great plastic crate for large dogs. We are talking about crates like the Rough Tough Kennel and Gunner G1 Kennel. They are lightweight, VERY heavy duty, great for outdoors, travel, truck beds and hunting. Good for destructive dogs, dogs that chew, dogs that scratch and escape artists.

Heavy Duty Steel Dog Crate – Made of a heavier thicker steel than the metal wire crates. Designed for chewers, scratchers and escape artist dogs.

Heavy Duty Aluminium Dog Crate – Strong crates that are lighter than steel crates. For chewers, scratchers and escape artist dogs. Can also be used for airline travel with airline kits.

As you can see, it depends on your dog and the intended uses of the crate as to the type of crate you might get.
