Every Lotus dog house is made to order, so choosing the right size matters. Start with your dog's adult weight, then check the exterior measurements of the model you like. If your dog is between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Step 1: Find the size by your dog's weight

Breed names are examples only. Dogs of the same breed can differ a lot in size, so go by weight and length rather than breed.
Step 2: Check the fit
-
Length: measure your dog lying down, from nose to the base of the tail, and add about 15 cm (6 in). The inside length of the house should be at least this.
-
Height: measure from the floor to the top of your dog's head while sitting. Your dog should be able to sit up comfortably inside.
-
Your room: the measurements below are exterior sizes, so you can check the space where the house will stand.
