How to choose the right size dog crate
Choosing the right size dog crate is critical for your dog's comfort, safety, and well-being during travel. The crate should provide enough space for your dog to sit, stand, turn around, and lay down in a natural position. However, it shouldn't be so large that your dog can slide or be tossed around during travel, which can lead to potential injury.
Measure your dog
You need to measure your dog to make sure that the crate you buy will be the right size. Here’s how to do it!
Measure your dog's wither height
Use a tape measure to find the height from the ground to the top of your dog's withers (shoulder blades).
Match wither height to crate size
- XS: For dogs with wither heights up to 35 cm.
- S: For dogs with wither heights up to 45 cm.
- M and M Compact: For dogs with wither heights up to 51 cm.
- L and L Compact: For dogs with wither heights up to 55 cm.
- XL and XL Compact: For dogs with wither heights up to 58 cm.
- XXL and XXL Compact: For dogs with wither heights up to 62 cm.

Safety for everyone
Safety is always our top priority and we make sure you and your pet can feel at peace. This is why our dog crate has been tested at the Thule Test Center and TÜV SÜD (certificate Z1 013709 0039) following crash test methods ECE R17 and ECE R129.
Unrestrained dogs can be a hidden threat in your car
In a 40 km/h (25 mph) crash, an unrestrained 34 kg (75-pound) dog can become a 1,360 kg (3,000-pound) force*, posing a deadly risk to everyone in the car. Only 16% of pet owners use safety restraints for their dogs**. Even smaller dogs aren't safe; a 4.5 kg (10-pound) dog can exert 136 kg (300 pounds) of force in a 50 km/h (30 mph) crash*. Always secure your pets to keep everyone safe. *Car Safety and Pets in America **How Many Dogs Die in Car Accidents Each Year? Vet Approved Facts & FAQ
Enhanced crumple zone protection
The crumple zone in your Thule Allax dog crate is a key safety feature. Its adjustable design allows the crate to compress during a crash, absorbing impact and keeping your dog safer compared to other crates without this protection.

A dog crate designed to protect both dogs and people
Thule Allax is the perfect choice for safe and comfortable rides for you and your four-legged friend.
Not only does the crate look great, but using it puts my mind at ease since it's been so thoroughly tested. A detail I appreciate is the bumper protector accessory that protects my car from scratches when my dog jumps into the crate.
