This grey dog crate furniture piece has an unusually large footprint — 114cm long internally — with a wide top surface for storage and display, and a sliding barn door that opens horizontally with no swing clearance needed. The critical thing to understand before buying is the internal height: 54cm. Your dog's head when sitting must be no more than 44cm from the ground. Long, low-slung breeds suit it well. Most medium and large breeds do not fit, regardless of body length or weight. Cushion and BS5852 fire certification included.
Does it fit your dog?
Measure your dog from the nose to the base of the tail and add 10 to 15cm. For height, measure from the floor to the top of their head when sitting upright and add 10cm. Both measurements must fall within the internal dimensions below.
Internal dimensions: 114cm L x 54cm H (practical floor width matches cushion at 54cm)
External dimensions: 118cm L x 60cm W x 73cm H
On the height: 54cm internal height means your dog's sitting head height must be 44cm or less. This rules out most medium and large breeds. Do not order this crate for a Labrador, Cocker Spaniel, Springer Spaniel or similar — they will not fit comfortably.
Breeds this crate suits well (low-slung body, moderate sitting height):
- Dachshund (standard and miniature)
- Basset Hound
- Corgi
- French Bulldog (up to approximately 30cm sitting height)
- Beagle (smaller end — measure your individual dog)
If in doubt, measure first. Do not order based on breed alone.
Also available in this range: Medium (76cm internal) and Large (94cm internal).
Before you buy
-
Already crate trained? Leave the sliding door open initially and let your dog investigate at their own pace.
-
Not yet crate trained? Start with a wire crate first. Build the positive association before moving to an enclosed design.
-
On the sliding door: Opens horizontally with no swing clearance needed. Useful beside furniture or in a narrower space.
-
On the wide top: The top surface is larger than a standard side table, making it useful for books, lamps and storage as well as display.
-
Chewer? Wood and particle board will not resist determined chewing. This suits calm adult dogs past the destructive phase.
Practical questions
Is the finish pet-safe?
PawHut does not publish independent safety certification for the board or finish. We recommend airing the crate for 24 to 48 hours before first use, especially if you notice a new-wood smell on unboxing.
Is the cushion certified?
Yes. The cushion meets BS5852, the UK fire resistance standard for upholstered furniture.
Can I use it outdoors?
No. Wood-based panels warp and swell when exposed to moisture. Indoor use only.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the crate body with a lightly damp cloth. Do not soak the panels. The cushion is machine washable.
How long does assembly take?
Typically under an hour. All fixings are included.
What if it does not fit my dog?
Free returns on all orders. If the crate is not right, contact our UK support team and we will sort it.
