Used dog kennels in the UAE typically sell for AED 150 to AED 890 (about $40 to $240). Outdoor kennels are weather-exposed, so timber condition and roof integrity decide whether one is worth moving.

Selling a dog kennel in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
The Emirates is a pre-launch market, so this is what a seller here should expect when it opens. The population turns over unusually fast, and that shapes the whole market: relocation sales put nearly-new furniture, appliances and cars on the market at heavy discounts, and the best stock appears in concentrated bursts as people leave. Distances are short and courier coverage is quick and cheap, so postage is rarely the obstacle it is elsewhere. Expect buyers to move fast and to expect a reply the same day.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the roof from inside for daylight
- Measure the internal dimensions
Getting it ready
- Check the floor is raised off the ground and the base timbers are sound, pressing for soft spots.
- Inspect the roof felt for splits and confirm the roof overhangs the entrance enough to keep rain out.
Photograph
- The interior through the door, showing the floor
- The roof and how far it overhangs the entrance
- The base timbers and any rot, split panel or worn felt
Put in the description
- Internal and external dimensions, and doorway height and width
- Construction material, and whether it is insulated or lined
- Honest condition of the base, felt and doorway
Collection, and heavier than it looks — a large timber kennel is a two-person lift and usually needs a van. Give the external dimensions and an honest sense of the weight.
Sells from spring through early autumn, with very little demand in midwinter. A sound treated kennel listed in April or May moves within a fortnight.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 890 a buyer pays is the AED 890 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a dog kennel in the UAE?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Is it weatherproof?
Answer with the evidence — roof felt condition, overhang, raised floor, whether it has been treated. A general claim of weatherproof means little on its own.
Is a used dog kennel worth buying?
Yes if the timber is sound and the roof is watertight. Rot at the base is what makes one not worth taking.
How do I check for rot?
Press firmly on the base timbers and around the door frame. Anything soft means the wood has gone.
