Loki has a much bigger crate than when he was a puppy. He was 3.5 pounds when we got him. Now he is 11 pounds. We used an 18" crate with a divider. Once he was crate trained we switched him to a crate 2 sizes bigger, I think a 30" or something like that. He has had that crate since. We got the bigger crate before he was fully housetrained but after he stopped having accidents in the crate. There is room for him to fully stretch out, although he tends to curl up in the back corner. He has a crate cover and mattress and everything. The crate training has also made it easier to get him to accept his car seat which he loves and it's great when we go to other people's houses.
