Crate sizing tips

• Choose 24-30 inch crates for most Cavoodles; use the divider while under 6 months.
• Ensure your puppy can stand, turn, and lie flat without curling.
• Re-check size at each milestone listed in the other doodle charts to avoid cramped spaces.

Set-up checklist

• Layer absorbent pad, washable cover, and thin blanket.
• Scatter two boredom-busting chews from our teething guide.
• Keep water nearby but outside the crate to prevent spills.

FAQs

• How long can a Cavoodle stay crated? Match age in months plus one hour, up to four daytime hours.
• Do I need two crates? One for home base and a soft crate for travel keeps routines consistent.
• When should I upgrade sizes? When the divider reaches its widest point or the puppy brushes the roof while sitting.

Pair the crate with the harness guide so transitions from rest to walks stay calm.
