How long can you leave a dog in crate for is 8-10 hours ok?

It is not recommended to leave a dog in a crate for 8-10 hours. Dogs are social animals and need interaction with humans and other animals. Leaving a dog in a crate for such a long period of time can lead to anxiety, stress, and even depression. Additionally, dogs need to be able to relieve themselves regularly and cannot do so if they are confined to a crate. If you must leave your dog alone for an extended period of time, it is best to hire a pet sitter or board your dog at a reputable kennel.
