Are you sure he's comfy?

When he lays down his paws touch both sides

You do not want the crate too big, they feel secure in the crate because it is "cozy" just like a natural den that they would dig in the dirt. You want the crate "just" big enough so that he can stand, turn & lay down not so much to where he can sprawl all out.

It is a little hard to tell from the pic exactly how much room he does have, I think maybe because it is so close up and large???? But from what I can tell he should be just fine with that crate.

What size is the crate? I, personally, would look into getting a bigger one, like a size up or something.

Molly's crate was almost 4x too large for her when she was a tiny pup, but she was fine in it, no accidents, she loved it.

I think Charlie is fine, but if he were my dog, I would exchange for a slightly bigger one. (Go to the next largest size)

I might do that. When he layed on his side, his head was all up against it like an akward pillow all smooshed up lol. But then it could have been just how he was laying.

He looks to be about the same size of Kaige & Kaige takes about that much room when he lays like that. Then sometimes Kaige curls all up in his crate & I'd be able to fit another dog in with him then. It's amazing how tiny they can get.
