Pet enclosures for dogs, cats, chickens and small animals
Valuhub's pet enclosures collection brings together outdoor and indoor housing for pets and backyard animals. Each home keeps animals safe, dry and contained. The range covers chicken coops with runs, catios, dog kennels, rabbit hutches and small cages. Many designs add a waterproof roof, lockable doors or a removable tray for easy cleaning.
Valuhub Canada offers these enclosures for homeowners with a yard, renters with a patio and small hobby farms. Each piece sits within the wider pet supplies range, next to beds, feeders and gates. Pick the animal first, then match the size and the weather protection.
Pet enclosures at a glance
Types of pet enclosures in this collection
The collection falls into five main groups, listed from the largest to the smallest.
Chicken coops and runs
Chicken coops are the largest group in this range. Wooden coops pair a hen house with a covered run, a nesting box and a pull-out tray. Metal chicken runs add a waterproof, UV-resistant cover and a feeding door. Sizes run from compact coops for two to four hens to runs longer than 6 m (20 ft). Browse all chicken coops to compare sizes.
Outdoor cat enclosures
Outdoor cat enclosures, often called a catio, let indoor cats enjoy fresh air without roaming free. Many have a weatherproof roof, several platforms and a resting box. Wooden and steel frames are both common, and some designs are wall mounted or on wheels. A typical size is about 150 cm (59 in) long for one to three cats. See every outdoor cat enclosure here.
Dog kennels and playpens
Dog kennels give a dog a shaded, fenced space in the yard. Many use a galvanized steel frame with a waterproof, UV-resistant cover and a secure lock. Common sizes include 6 x 4 x 6 ft (1.8 x 1.2 x 1.8 m). Longer dog runs reach about 4 m (13 ft). Browse dog kennels, then dog playpens and dog cages and crates for indoor use.
Rabbit hutches
A rabbit hutch also suits guinea pigs and other small animals. Wooden hutches often have an opening waterproof roof, a lockable door and a slide-out tray. Two-level designs add a ramp and a run. Sizes start near 50 cm (20 in) long and reach about 137 cm (54 in). Compare every rabbit hutch in the collection.
Hamster and bird cages
Hamster cages and bird cages cover the smallest pets indoors. Many hamster cages stack several tiers and include tubes, a water bottle and an exercise wheel. Bird cages give pet birds a tidy home in a living room or bedroom. These pet cages double as small animal cages for a bedroom or playroom. Visit hamster cages and bird cages.

How do you choose a pet enclosure?
Measure your pet first
Measure your pet from nose to tail base, then add about 10 cm (4 in). A dog should stand, turn around and lie down stretched out. Check the inside size, not only the outside size.
Match the weather
Look for a waterproof roof with UV protection and a raised floor that keeps bedding dry. Canadian winters bring snow load and wind, so check the roof slope and anchor points.
Check locks and mesh
Choose latches your pet cannot open and wire gaps too small for heads or paws. Chickens and rabbits also need a secure top, because predators climb and dig.
Plan for cleaning
A removable tray and a roof that opens make weekly cleaning quick. Smooth, wipe-clean surfaces dry faster than rough wood and hold less dirt.
Leave room to move
Measure the spot and keep 30 cm (12 in) clear around the enclosure for access. Wheels help when you rotate a catio or a coop onto fresh grass.
Where do pet enclosures work best?
Backyards suit the largest outdoor pet enclosures. Think of a chicken coop with a run, a dog kennel or a full-size catio. A level, shaded spot with good drainage keeps the floor dry. Owners of dogs and cats often start here.
Patios and balconies suit compact and wall-mounted outdoor cat enclosures, plus small hutches. These spots give pets fresh air while you stay close. Check balcony rules and weight limits before you place an enclosure on an upper floor.
Living rooms, bedrooms and garages suit hamster cages, bird cages, crates and playpens. These indoor options give small animals a calm base and keep curious pets away from cords and shoes.
How do you set up and care for a pet enclosure?
Set outdoor pet houses on level ground, in partial shade, and anchor them against wind. Clean the tray weekly and replace bedding when it gets damp. Each season, tighten the fasteners and check the latches. Bring pets indoors during severe cold, because shelter alone does not replace indoor warmth.

Pet enclosure FAQs
What is a pet enclosure used for?
An enclosure gives pets a safe, contained space to rest, play or shelter. Outdoor models protect dogs, cats, chickens and rabbits from weather and wandering. Indoor models, such as cages and crates, keep small animals secure at home.
How big should an outdoor pet enclosure be?
An outdoor pet enclosure should let your pet stand, turn and stretch fully. For dogs, add about 10 cm (4 in) to their nose-to-tail length for a shelter. Runs and catios should be larger, so animals can move freely.
Can pet enclosures stay outside in winter?
Some outdoor pet houses handle cool weather with a dry, raised floor and a waterproof roof. Severe cold is still unsafe for many pets. Short-haired dogs, cats, rabbits and small animals should come indoors when temperatures drop sharply.
What is a catio?
A catio is an outdoor cat enclosure that lets an indoor cat enjoy fresh air safely. It usually has a mesh or wire frame, a roof, platforms and a resting box. Wall-mounted, freestanding and wheeled catios all exist.
How much space do chickens need?
A common guideline is about 0.4 square metres (4 square feet) per hen inside the coop. The run should offer roughly 1 square metre (10 square feet) per hen. Add a nesting box, and check each listing for the recommended bird count.
Which material is best for an outdoor pet enclosure?
Wood looks natural and insulates well, while galvanized steel resists rust and is easy to wipe clean. Wooden pieces need a weatherproof finish and an occasional check for damp. Metal wire runs suit dog kennels and chicken runs that need open airflow.
