Dog Enclosures & Portable Pet Enclosures for Dogs
Choosing the right dog enclosure comes down to where it will live and how contained your dog needs to be, not just their size. Whether you need a heavy duty setup for the yard, a lightweight indoor pen, or a portable pet enclosure for travel, use this guide to pick the best style before choosing a size:
- Playpens: Ideal as portable pet enclosures for dogs, suitable for supervised containment indoors or outdoors. Options range from lightweight 8-panel wire pens for puppies to heavy duty metal-tube pens (weighing 20 to 30kg) that stop energetic 10-week-old pups from pushing them around.
- Outdoor Runs & Kennels: Welded-panel outdoor dog enclosures designed for permanent, unsupervised yard containment. They feature optional sun and rain covers, as well as reversible gates that swing in either direction to suit your yard layout.
- Indoor Pens & Crates: Apartment- and home-friendly indoor dog enclosures that set up in minutes without tools. These are ideal for house-training or containing your dog while you are out, available in wire, metal, and plastic (PVC) builds.
- Whelping Boxes: Purpose-built pet enclosures for dogs, mothers, and new litters. They are sized by breed weight (Small up to 15kg, Medium up to 30kg, and Large/X-Large 30kg+) and feature an optional playpen extension that grows alongside the puppies.

All pet enclosures ship fast Australia-wide. Please note that regional and oversized deliveries (such as large or x-large runs and boxes over 1.1 metres) may take a little longer due to manual sorting by couriers; you can view estimates on our shipping page. We also stock individual panels, doors, and roof covers separately, so if you buy a dog enclosure online today, you can easily expand or repair your setup down the track without replacing the entire unit.
Frequently Asked Questions: Dog Enclosures
1. Which type of dog enclosure should I buy: a playpen, an outdoor run, or an indoor pen?
It depends on the level of supervision and location. Playpens make great portable pet enclosures for supervised time indoors or outdoors. Outdoor runs are heavy duty enclosures built for permanent, unsupervised yard containment. Indoor pens and crates (available in wire, metal, or plastic PVC) are lighter options, ideal for house-training or apartments where a full outdoor run is not practical.
2. Can I extend a dog enclosure I have already bought rather than buying a larger one?
In most cases, yes. We sell individual panels and door panels separately for our heavy duty metal and outdoor pet enclosures, allowing you to expand your setup without replacing the whole pen. Our 8-panel wire playpens are permanently joined, so they expand only in multiples of 8. Whelping boxes can also be extended in height using the stacking adaptors included in the box.
3. Can I attach a portable pet enclosure or playpen to my existing crate?
Yes. Carabiner clips or cable ties are the simplest way to join a heavy duty playpen or run panel to a crate. For our collapsible wire dog crates, matching wire playpens can clip on directly (Small and Medium crate sizes require an additional clip, sold separately).
4. Do outdoor dog enclosures need a roof cover?
Not always. It depends on whether your dog is prone to jumping or climbing. We sell dedicated sun and rain covers for our welded-panel outdoor dog enclosures (in 3m × 2m and 2m × 2m configurations). If your main goal is to stop a climber rather than provide shelter from the weather, chicken wire or flyscreen mesh from a local hardware store is an easy, budget-friendly solution.
5. How long does delivery take when I buy a large or x-large dog enclosure online?
When you buy a dog enclosure online from Vebo Pets, standard sizes ship fast right across Australia. However, large or x-large oversized items (over 1.1 metres long) cannot be sorted by machine for regional routes and require manual handling by the courier team, which can add extra transit time. You can check our shipping page for an accurate estimate for your postcode.
