Used dog crates in the UAE typically sell for AED 99 to AED 445 (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 the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Domestic courier coverage is quick and cheap by international standards, and most of the population is within a short drive of everyone else.
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
- Confirm the base tray is present and uncracked
- Measure it and state the internal dimensions
Getting it ready
- Measure the internal length, width and height, not the external. Owners size a crate to their dog.
- Check the door latches work smoothly and the hinges are true, and that the tray slides out and is uncracked.

Put in the description
- Internal length, width and height in centimetres
- Number of doors, and whether it folds flat
- Condition of the bars, latches and coating
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.
Steady all year with a lift after Christmas and in summer, when puppies arrive. Common sizes in sound condition often sell the same day they are listed.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 445 a buyer pays is the AED 445 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 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 the tray included?
Say it in the title. Replacement trays are surprisingly hard to source for older crates and buyers have learned to check.
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.
Does a missing tray matter?
Yes. Trays are size-specific and awkward to replace, so a crate without one is much harder to sell.
