Alright, let’s talk about them dog crates, the ones for English Bulldogs. You know, those wrinkly, low-to-the-ground fellas? Yeah, them. So, you got yourself one, or thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ one, and you’re wonderin’ ’bout the right size crate. Don’t want ’em cramped up like sardines in a can, now do ya?
First off, them bulldogs, they ain’t the tallest critters. They’re kinda short and stout, you know? I heard tell they grow to be ’bout 12 to 16 inches tall at their shoulders. Some say 12 to 15 inches, but who’s countin’ every last inch, right? Point is, they ain’t gonna be stretchin’ their necks up to the ceilin’ like some kinda giraffe-dog.
Now, I been hearin’ different things ’bout the crate size. Some folks say you need one that’s ’bout 36 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 27 inches high. Others say 36 inches long, 23 inches wide, and 25 inches high. Then there’s them who say 42 inches long and 30 inches wide is the way to go. Lands sakes, makes a body dizzy, don’t it? So much confusion, hard to understand, for an old woman like me.
But here’s the thing, you don’t want that dog feelin’ all squished up. They gotta be able to stand up, turn around, and lay down comfy-like. It’s like gettin’ a good pair of shoes, ya know? Too small, and your feet hurt. Too big, and you’re trippin’ all over the place. Same goes for the dog crate. Gotta be just right.
- If you got yourself a young’un, a puppy bulldog, you might wanna get a crate with a divider panel. That way, you can make the space smaller when they’re little, and then make it bigger as they grow. Saves you from buyin’ two crates, see? Smart thinkin’, that is.
- And remember, when you’re measurin’ your dog, don’t just go by how tall they are. You gotta think about their length too.
- Some folks say you should measure your dog’s length and height, and then add 4 inches to them numbers. That sounds ’bout right to me. Gives ’em a little extra wiggle room.
Now, I ain’t no fancy dog expert or nothin’, but I know a thing or two ’bout common sense. And common sense says, give that dog enough space to be comfortable. Don’t go crammin’ ’em into a box that’s too small. That ain’t right. Treat ’em good, and they’ll treat you good. That’s what I always say. They are part of our family.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a crate for your English Bulldog, I’d say start with somethin’ ’round 36 inches long. That seems to be the number most folks agree on. But if you got a bigger bulldog, or if you just wanna give ’em extra space, you might go for somethin’ a little bigger. Just make sure they can move around comfortably. That’s the most important thing. Just like us old folks, we don’t want to be cramped in a small place and can’t move.
And one more thing, don’t forget to put a nice comfy bed or blanket in that crate. Make it a cozy little den for your bulldog. They’ll appreciate it, trust me. After all, everyone likes a cozy place to stay. A good rest makes everyone happy.
Well, that’s ’bout all I got to say ’bout dog crates for English Bulldogs. Hope it helps ya out some. Just remember, give ’em enough space, make it comfy, and treat ’em good. That’s the secret to a happy bulldog, and a happy owner too.
In short, when it comes to crate size, bigger is usually better than smaller. Just make sure it ain’t so big that it feels like an empty warehouse to your bulldog. Find that happy medium, and you’ll be golden.
Now, go on and find yourself the perfect crate for your furry friend. And don’t forget to give ’em a treat from me!
