I like cages 3 to 2 times bigger than what the dog will be full grown. I have not ever heard of an accidental death in a cage. My now 13 1/2 year old is left out because he does not move much and sleeps like 20 hours a day. If my husband did not give his cage away to someone who really needed it, he would be sleeping in it with the door open as my puppy is doing right now in her cage. I did have a foster dog that suffered from panic attacks from noises and so we would put him in cage with another dog for comfort and he was happy then. Prior to that he was burnt from refrigerator motor from crawling up under the refrigerator when being kept blocked in to a kitchen. I also don't like my dogs in the kitchen because when I am cooking I don't like them underfoot or near the stove.
