Sell Your Dog Crate in Canada

Used dog crates in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Crates are simple and durable, so second-hand value tracks size and whether the tray and door mechanism survived.

Selling a dog crate in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Working out what yours is worth

• Fold and unfold it to check the mechanism
• Confirm the base tray is present and uncracked

Getting it ready

• Measure the internal length, width and height, not the external. Owners size a crate to their dog.
• Wash it down and check for bent bars or rust at the joints.

• A tape measure showing the internal length or height

Put in the description

• Number of doors, and whether it folds flat
• Whether the plastic tray and any divider panel are included
• Condition of the bars, latches and coating

Size and type: “Large Folding Dog Crate, 91cm, 2 Doors with Tray”. Length in centimetres is the real search; the manufacturer’s size labels are inconsistent between brands. Say whether it folds flat, which decides transport and storage.

Folds flat, so collection is easy and postage is possible though heavy. Fold it and secure it with a strap before they arrive — an unsecured folding crate opens in a car boot.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$170 a buyer pays is the C$170 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 crate in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Does it fold flat?

Confirm and say how thin it packs down to. It decides whether the buyer can collect in a car and whether they can store it between uses.

Are used dog crates worth selling?

Yes, they sell quickly because they are durable and expensive new. Size and a working door are what buyers care about.

Should I clean it before selling?

Definitely. A thorough clean and honest photographs make a substantial difference to how quickly it moves.
