Sell Your Dog Kennel in Canada

Used dog kennels in Canada typically sell for C$57 to C$340 (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 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.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

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

• Press the base timbers for soft rot
• Check the roof from inside for daylight

Getting it ready

• Check the floor is raised off the ground and the base timbers are sound, pressing for soft spots.
• Clean it out and check for rot around the doorway, which weathers fastest.

Put in the description

• Construction material, and whether it is insulated or lined
• Whether the floor is raised, and whether the roof lifts or hinges for cleaning
• Honest condition of the base, felt and doorway

Size and construction: “Large Wooden Dog Kennel, Apex Roof, Raised Floor”. Buyers size by their dog, so give internal dimensions. Insulated and apex-roof are both genuine searches, and a removable roof for cleaning is worth saying.

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.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$340 a buyer pays is the C$340 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 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 the roof come off for cleaning?

Check and say. It is a real convenience feature and one of the few things that distinguishes kennels of similar size.

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.

Does it need treating?

A coat of animal-safe preservative before selling improves both appearance and price for very little outlay.
