When you first get your Boston Terrier, you will quickly learn that it may not be able to be with you 24\/7. Work, sleep, and stores that are not pet-friendly mean you’ll need to leave your dog alone at some point. When you do, a crate may be the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is the best crate size for a Boston Terrier? A 24\u201d crate is recommended for Boston Terriers. The crate should have a divider panel, a lower pan, and two doors. Do not get a dog crate if the dog cannot stand up fully without touching the top of the crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know there are different types of crates for different purposes? We didn\u2019t until we got our first dog. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I pick the right size crate for a Boston Terrier?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right type and size of crate for your Boston Terrier dog is not difficult. Based on the average size of a Boston Terrier, a 24\u201d crate is recommended. Crates are measured based on height. So, a 24\u201d crate is 24 inches tall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston Terriers are considered a small breed dog, average 15-17 inches tall, and weigh 15-25 lbs. There are some interesting Boston Terrier stats in our comparison of Boston Terriers to French Bulldogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When measuring an adult Boston Terrier for a crate, be sure they are standing with their head up and ears up. You want to include the ear height in the measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a general, more permanent crate for your home, a wire crate with double doors is recommended. A double door crate has a door on one end and a door on one side. This allows you flexibility when changing the placement of the crate the next time you rearrange the furniture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure your crate has a solid pan for the bottom of the crate. The pan sits above the bottom wires of the crate. Never make your dog walk and sleep on the wire of a crate. You wouldn\u2019t like and neither do they. We prefer plastic pans as they do not rust and are easy to clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you use the same dog crate for puppies and adults?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, with a little bit of luck, you can buy a crate that will work great for the life of your Boston Terrier dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why we recommend purchasing a dog crate that has one or more divider panels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A divider panel attaches to the walls of a crate in order to divide the space into a smaller usable area for a puppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As your Boston Terrier grows, the divider panel can be moved to increase the space available to your adolescent dog. When fully grown, the divider panel can be removed completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
