Boxers are a beloved breed known for their playful, energetic, and affectionate personalities. These medium to large-sized dogs are often referred to as “the clown of the dog world” because of their goofy antics and zest for life. Boxers are incredibly loyal and protective, making them excellent family companions and natural guardians. With their muscular build, high energy levels, and intelligence, Boxers thrive in active households that provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and structure.
However, their curiosity and exuberance can sometimes lead to mischief if left unsupervised. This is why having a high-quality dog crate tailored to the unique needs of a Boxer is essential for ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being.
Why Your Boxer Needs a Quality Dog Crate
A durable, secure crate is more than just a containment tool—it’s a safe space where your Boxer can feel at ease. Here’s how a crate can address specific challenges for this breed:
-
Energy and Curiosity
Boxers are known for their boundless energy and inquisitive nature. When you’re away or unable to supervise, a crate ensures your Boxer doesn’t get into trouble exploring potentially hazardous household items. -
Anxiety Relief
Boxers form deep bonds with their families and may experience separation anxiety. A crate offers a den-like retreat that provides comfort and security, reducing stress in situations like being home alone or during travel. -
Preventing Destructive Behavior
With their strong jaws and playful demeanor, Boxers are notorious chewers. A durable crate helps protect your furniture and belongings while keeping your dog safe from swallowing dangerous items. -
Supporting Training and Structure
A crate can play a vital role in housebreaking and obedience training. Boxers respond well to structure, and having a designated space helps reinforce routines and boundaries.

Size Recommendations for Boxers
Boxers typically weigh between 50–70 pounds and stand 21–25 inches tall at the shoulder. Most Boxers fit comfortably in the 40-inch Large crate, which provides ample room for movement and relaxation.
For larger Boxers or those who prefer extra space, the 40+ inch XL crate is a great option. If your Boxer is still growing or is on the smaller side, consider starting with the 34-inch Intermediate crate as a transitional size.

Customer Stories & Reviews
- HIGHLY recommend this crate! "If I could give this 6 stars- I would! This crate is not only durable and sturdy, but it is also incredibly convenient to use. The collapsible feature makes it easy set up and take down, perfect for when we're the go. Not only does this crate provide a safe and secure space for my boxer , but it also offers ample ventilation and visibility. In terms of comfort, it's like a mini sanctuary for him, and I can see that he feels relaxed and at ease when he's inside. Overall, I highly recommend the collapsible impact dog crate for anyone in need of a reliable and high-quality crate. My boxer gives it two paws up!"
- High Anxiety "I rescued a 1.5 year old deaf boxer with horrible separation anxiety. He broke out of two wire crates. Tore up barstoles, a heavy bag, anything not nailed down. He would jump ontop of the freezer and bar chewing at wires and do anything to try to break out of the area he was kept it. He had accidents all over the floor, and I knew he was capable of holding it. I think he was doing it out of spite. I've never crated any of my previous boxer before, but let me tell you this crate has made a world of difference for Leo. He loves it! I have had the crate a little over a month and he hasn't even attempted to break out. He lays in it an night on his own free will, and when get ready to leave for work, he takes a few toys in with him and is settled for the day until I get home. I feel like it's his safe place and he's so calm in there. He's even been accident free and happy has ever. I do travel with him so now that I know he's comfortable in it, I'll be purchasing a collapsible one soon. Best money I ever spent!"
- Best Made Dog Crate- Without a doubt!! "I rescued a 53lb female boxer . She came home and was fine in our plastic crate with wire metal door at night in our bedroom while we were asleep. But the very first time we put her in the crate during the day to run a quick errand - she escaped the crate. After reading all the stories of dogs being injured escaping- and subsequent vet bills we decided to invest that money into the 34” Impact High Anxiety crate. It is wonderful- there is no way for Rogue to injure herself, and she likes the more secluded crate with the door covers as well. The quality is top notch, smooth, and solid. My only complaint is that it’s not available in the rainbow of colors offered by Impact. I would definitely buy again!"
