My thicker-than-snicker and heavy-like-a-chevy labradors (we’re talking 70lbs each) love their kennels. The fit perfectly as they are able to stand inside but they are smaller than their old kennels so it took a little adjustment. I love that the doors open all the way so they’re flush against the side of the kennel and my girls love to hang out in there with the doors open and their front paws sticking out the front. Don’t worry if you’re downsizing and your dog is hesitant. Mine were at first but they got over it very quickly. Also make sure when you install the latches you have the slots pointing towards the ground so gravity helps keep them latched.
