STEP 1
Measure your dog (start with wither height)
Start by measuring your dog to find the right crate size. The most important measurement is wither height — this is the distance from the ground up to the top of your dog’s shoulders (not the head).
Also measure your dog’s length (nose to base of tail) and consider their overall build. Your dog should be able to stand, sit, lie down and turn around comfortably inside the crate without feeling restricted.
Getting the size right at this stage ensures a safer, more secure fit and makes choosing the correct crate much easier.

STEP 2
Choose the right crate size for your dog and your car
Now you’ve measured your dog, it’s time to choose a crate that fits both your dog and your boot space.
Use your dog’s wither height and length to make sure they have enough room to sit, stand and turn comfortably. Then check your boot opening and depth to ensure the crate will fit properly in your vehicle.
The right size crate should feel secure, not cramped, and fit neatly in your car without forcing or overhanging. Getting this balance right improves safety, stability and everyday usability.

STEP 3
Check your car boot type and available space
Not all car boots are the same, so it’s important to check how your space is laid out before choosing a crate.
Look at whether your boot has a flat floor or a raised lip (step) at the entrance, as this can affect how easily a crate fits and whether the door can open fully. If your car boot has a step you will need a Threshold version of the Thule Allax, these models have a smaller door that opens above the raised boot lip.
Also consider the height, depth and width of your boot, along with any sloping rear seats.
Choosing a crate that matches your boot shape ensures a proper fit, easy access and safe use without the crate catching on the door or taking up too much space.
