Pets come with a pile of gear, and most of it outlives the phase it was bought for. Puppy crates, cat towers, slow feeders, winter coats: Canadian owners collectively retire millions of dollars of nearly-new supplies every year. This marketplace puts that gear back to work locally, with free listings, no fees or commission on either side, and pickup in your own city.
Everything below is listed by a local owner. Use the category pages for the deep dives (crates, beds, cat trees), or browse the full local inventory here. Have gear of your own collecting dust? Listing takes about two minutes.

What sells (and what to skip) second hand
Great used buys: crates and kennels, cat trees, elevated feeders, food storage bins, playpens, and hard toys that sanitize well. Wash-and-go items like beds and soft carriers are fine with proper cleaning. Skip used items that cannot be sanitized or that carry safety history you cannot verify: opened food and treats, medication, and heavily-chewed soft toys.
The golden rule: disinfect before first use
Hard surfaces get soap and water, then a 1:30 bleach solution left wet for ten minutes; this is the protocol that actually kills parvovirus, which household sprays do not. Fabric gets a hot wash and a day in the sun. It is ten minutes of work that removes essentially all of the risk of buying used.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy used pet supplies near me?+
On LocalPetFinder’s marketplace. Local owners list second hand crates, beds, cat trees, bowls, toys, and gear; you message them through the site and pick up locally. There are no fees for buyers or sellers.
Is buying second hand pet gear safe?+
Yes, with basic hygiene. Hard items get soap and water followed by a 1:30 bleach soak for ten minutes (the only common household protocol that kills parvovirus). Fabric gets a hot wash and sun-dry. Skip consumables, medication, and anything that cannot be sanitized.
How do I sell my used pet supplies?+
Create a free listing with one photo, a price (or free), and a short description. Buyers in your city message you through the site, and you arrange pickup directly. LocalPetFinder never takes a cut. Listings are reviewed before going live, usually within a day.
Why buy used instead of new?+
Price and waste. Most pet gear is used for one life stage and retired in near-new condition, so the used market is full of barely-touched items at a third of retail. Buying local also skips the shipping that makes bulky items like crates and cat trees expensive online.
