We are buying the midewest 42X28X30 crate with divider for our new lab puppy - what size bed should we get if we use divider?

A bed that will fit the entire crate. The divider stays an inch or two off the floor of the crate, it allows room for a full sized bed. I had no trouble with either of my crates using their dividers on top of full sized beds. Just make sure the bed doesn't have a HUGE outer edge and you're fine.

Being I didn't split mine my guess would be to divide the cage dimensions and subtract an inch. Better a tad smaller than it riding up the wall.

I agree with Carotopgal... i thought this can't be right!I have the xl and l beds (two dogs) and both boxes were considerable smaller.I think you could email and they will tell you the dimensions of the box.ps- mine love there beds.

Hello 2BFree, Which size bed where you looking at? We have the small (20" x 25" x 6"), medium (36" x 28" x 7") and large (42" x 32" x 8"). The dog tends to sleep on the whole surface as they rest their head on the bolster to sleep. However if you have a size in mind I can give you the inside dimensions also. Thanks

This size should be fine. I'd judge more by his length than weight. Our Golden is long with long legs & this size gives her room she needs to stretch out. Nothing less than 48x30 will give her space to move comfortablely. Very heavy & sturdy crate. Love the pewter. More appealing/ less obtrusive in room than black.

My Katie is only 10 pounds and I bought the smaller crate. The medium could be big enough, but not sure. You can go to the Carlson website and get a more accurate interior size details. Depends on how long your dog will be crated, and how much room you want for moving around. I wish they made a larger size. Love how these crates are so well made.

It was huge. I didn't measure it but very roomy. It is taller than most crates too. I actually exchanged it for a 36 inch and their customer service is great. It will definitely work for a Lab. I definitely recommend for travel or shows, but if you need a full time crate, I would recommend metal, especially if your lab is young and still destroys things (I had 2 labs).

I did not use the divider, nor need it. My dog was already house broken. This crate was orderedto accomodate my rapidly growing german sh epherd dog. Within a few weeks he had eaten, weakened and somehow removed several horizontal wires. The gate was very flimsy, luckily he didn.'t figure out the latches as his sister had done. Now they are mature and i can leave them free when i leave the house. Luckily i did not need the crate for long. The quality is the poorest of all the crates i have used. My female shepherdloves hers and retreats there for naps and to sleep at night. He will have nothing to do eith his unless i need to confine him for workmen entering the house. He is overfriendly`but some people dont care for dogs. back to the point, no, there is no opening that i saw in the divider. I would caution you according to the old saying..You get what you pay for. This crate is of the poorest quality i have purchased in several years. The gate is flimsy and is hard to line up with the latches. Sorry, just have not used the divider. Good luck

I have a 75 lb black lab. I bought a 40" for the living room and the 52" for the bedroom. She fits snugly in the 40" but in the 52" she has extra room. I would go with the 52" for a dog that size. The picture they use looks like it might be the 52" size.

I have two of the medium "crates" (more like taj ma hall compared to others) for my mini-Schnauzers. They are both in the 19 - 20 pound range and they have plenty of room. Add a pad and a blanket and they will be very content. This is the best way to safely pen your pet and be able to have it look like it belongs. Not your ugly wire crate where they risk catching their paw in the grid pattern.

I bought this for my 42 x 28 inch crate. I thought that it could have been a little bit larger, but it works good enough for me. It did not fit perfect but I'm sure each crate gets a little beat up if you move them a lot like I did. Hope this helped.

I have eight 54X37X45 Midwest Double Door Crates with 2 beds in each one which support my Giant Breed Dogs fantastically and last a very long time. The size of the beds I use in the crates is 55" X 37" X 4". The fit is perfect. I lay a removable cover over the top bed so it easily comes out, gets laundered and placed back on top of the mattress. No mess, hardly any work.

If you really need a good suggestion I would like to know his/her age, weight, hight and length. My dog is a mixed breed with long body and long legs. I guess she is a in between sizes for the other manufactures' crates. They are either too small or too big. Some manufacture offer buying guide based on dog's weight. That didn't work for our tall and thin dog. Some older dogs can be less flexible that they need more room to turn around in it too. If your dog is still a puppy, get used ones until he stop growing. The rule of sum is the crate should be tall enought for him to stand and wide or long enough for her to turn around. I hope this will help you. Good luck!

I think the 42" crate would work. My 50 lb dog fits in a 30" crate with a very large pillow. I bought the crate for my smaller dogs but sometimes Meatball sneaks in for a snooze. I would of course buy the larger crate for a 75 pound dog.

We got ours for a pit bull puppy too. We got medium so a pet bed with side bolsters (to make puppy feel secure) is would fit inside

Greetings! My that is a big dog. We don't have a crate that big at the moment. We make an XXL that is 109cm L x 68cm W x 86cm H but that would most likely not be tall enough to allow your dog sit straight. Here is a link to the crate - http://www.icc-case.com/impact-case-dog-crate-stationary-xx-large/

Sorry to take so long to answer. I bought the divider with hopes of using it in the other type of big cage I have but it didn't fit--too big. Think I'lll probably buby the whole midwest guinea habitat at some point--because I like how wide it is and that it's adjustable (can add on other cages) . I do hesitate because it has that flimsy canvas bottom and not a vinyl tray-like bottom which I find easy to use. I saw one being used at my local pet shop and it was great except for that canvas bottom. Any one else's experiences would be appreciated...though by this writing, they probably stopped making them (ha ha) Sorry to take so long to answer.

The large would suffice, not the medium. Also the bottom is made of bars like the sides and top so you need a pad for the bottom. Sturdy cage! Hannah loves it, she feels safe inside. It is easy to roll around and the wheels lock in place. There is a tray under the bottom bars for easy clean up. This dog is a Houdini and she cannot get out of it.
