Canadian kennel and cage makers
Cages, kennel banks and dog runs for vet clinics, boarding kennels, groomers and shelters are built to last decades, so who makes them and where matters. This list covers companies that manufacture that equipment in Canada. Distributors and resellers are left off. Each entry shows where the company says it manufactures, with the source we checked and the date we checked it, and says so plainly when a company does not name its plant.
Three different questions
A Canadian company is not the same thing as a Canadian-made product, and neither is the same thing as a foreign product you can buy from a Canadian shop. We record those separately for every brand, because collapsing them into one label is how buyers get misled. Where a company has not said something, we say that instead of guessing.
5 brands with a Canadian connection
Clark Cages Inc.
North Bay, Ontario
Canadian-owned, made in Canada.
Clark Cages makes cages for animal professionals (boarding kennels, groomers, veterinarians, rescues and pet stores) and has been based in North Bay, Ontario since 1978. It is an active federal corporation with its registered office in North Bay. Clark Cages’ own website does not say where the cages are made. The North Bay manufacturing statement comes from a third-party Canadian-made directory.
Capital Fence & Wire Limited
Ottawa, Ontario
Ownership not stated, made in Canada.
Capital Fence & Wire is an Ottawa fence company, founded in 1967, that manufactures Capital Pen Panels: dog runs and kennel pens that can be built to slope with the floor for drainage when flushing. The company states the panels are available only from it as the manufacturer in Ottawa. Most of its business is commercial and residential fencing.
Phoenix Fence Corp.
Alberta
Ownership not stated, made in Canada.
Phoenix Fence is a Western Canadian fence manufacturer operating from Edmonton and Calgary since 1981. Among its manufactured products are chain link dog runs and welded panel dog kennels. The company describes itself as a manufacturer but does not name its plant, so the made-in-Canada claim rests on that description.
Vétérinov Inc.
Sherbrooke, Quebec
Ownership not stated, made in Canada.
Vétérinov is a Sherbrooke, Quebec company that has manufactured and distributed veterinary equipment, including stainless steel cages and kennels, since 2018. Its French homepage carries the line "Fabriqué au Canada". No page we read names a production facility, so the made-in-Canada claim rests on that line and the company’s Sherbrooke address.
Dispomed Ltd.
Joliette, Quebec
Partly Canadian-owned, partly made in Canada.
Dispomed is a veterinary equipment company in Joliette, Quebec, founded in 1982. It makes the Tobyguard line of stainless steel veterinary cages, which it describes as handcrafted in Canada, and it also distributes imported veterinary products, so not everything it sells is Canadian-made. Ownership is recorded as partial: the company describes a family founding and a family president, which is leadership, not a shareholding record.
Know a brand we are missing?
We add a brand once we can read an origin or manufacturing statement on the company’s own site, its packaging, or a government record. If you run a Canadian pet business, you can list it in our Canadian directory.
