Who We Build For: Commercial Pros & Private Dog Owners
Whether you manage a busy commercial pack-walking business, run a national welfare shelter, operate a veterinary clinic, or simply own multiple large dogs and want a dedicated transport van, our bespoke cage systems are engineered around your daily needs.
Why We Design & Fabricate Custom Van Cages
We started Van Dog Cages because traditional fabric crates and universal plastic dog boxes simply aren’t up to the task of daily commercial transit. They rattle, break under stress, absorb damp smells, and dangerously compromise cargo space.
We believe that transporting animals—whether two family pets or ten commercial pack dogs—should be safe, quiet, and stress-free. By engineering bespoke steel frames that contour directly to each van’s chassis, we give dogs maximum headroom while giving owners total confidence on the road.
Specialised Features for Every Type of Handler
Commercial Dog Walkers & Pet Sitters
Dog walking professionals need rapid access and multi-cage segregation to manage dogs with different sizes and temperaments. Our builds feature internal bi-folding doors, anti-rattle latches, and custom wooden shelf panels fitted above the cages to neatly store wet coats, leads, towels, and jump boards.
Rescue Centres & Welfare Shelters
Supplying local independent shelters and national animal welfare organizations, our rescue builds focus on high cage density and animal safety during emergency collections. Solid sheet steel partitions can be added between cages to isolate anxious or reactive animals safely.
Veterinary Clinics & Animal Ambulances
Veterinary patient transport demands exceptional hygiene and a calm environment. Our precision latches minimise road chatter to keep post-surgery patients calm, while our textured resin-coated plywood floor comes standard for effortless washdowns.
Private Dog Owners & Agility Competitors
You don’t have to run a commercial business to benefit from a van conversion. Household pet lovers with 2, 3, or more large breeds (or agility and flyball competitors) often buy a small van specifically for weekend trips, avoiding cramped car boots and muddy upholstery.
