#MANSBESTBUMPER is here. Fetch it up.
The Gunner Kennel G1 Intermediate was one of four, and the only dog crate, out of 29 pet travel products not to fail when crash tested.
If you were watching the TODAY show on NBC Tuesday morning, you may have seen the report by national investigative correspondent, Jeff Rossen. You can watch the video here, but to summarize, it states that there is no oversight on the claims pet travel products make and when 29 crates, carriers and harnesses were crash tested by the Center for Pet Safety, only four passed the test.
This isn’t a surprise to us. In fact, it was why we started Gunner Kennels in the first place. We were tired of replacing Gunner’s crate every year. If a crate can’t survive a season of duck hunting without breaking, how will it offer any protection in a crash?
I finally exhausted the search for the perfect travel crate I felt comfortable putting Gunner in and that fit the lifestyle of a family dog owner. It wasn’t out there. So, I set out to build Man’s Best Kennel™ for my best friend.
After thoughtfully designing and vigorously testing our crate over a couple years, we started selling them to other dog owners in the spring of 2015. Then, in the summer, it was included in the official crash test conducted by the Center For Pet Safety and Subaru USA. The G1 Intermediate™ was named the 2015 Top Performer Award in the test.
What’s alarming is how poorly the other so-called crash tested and “safe” dog crates held together in a 30 mph simulated crash.
We are happy pet safety is gaining national attention. Numerous national television shows, magazines and newspapers are sharing the findings of the crate study. As the manufacturer of the safest dog crate, we are working hard on producing more crate sizes.
The G1 Large will be released soon and we are currently working on smaller sizes that’ll keep your pet safe and secure. Stay tuned to our blog, Instagram and Facebook pages for updates.

You will need a soft measuring tape, your dog, and 2 minutes to find your perfect fit.
Tip: If you don't have a soft measuring tape, use a piece of string or a leash then compare.
Measure from base of tail to end of nose, keeping the tape along the spine.

GUNNER is the original 5 Star Crash Tested kennel, per the Center For Pet Safety. We created this crate specifically for transportation and that factors into our fit recommendations. In the best interest of your dog, we advise a snug fit for safe travel. If choosing the GUNNER crate for home kenneling, simply slide the toggle above to the right to see the best size.
When primarily used for travel, we always recommend a tight fit in the GUNNER kennel. This protects the dog in the case of an accident: the less wasted interior space the better. Think about it like this – if you’re hitting the brakes too hard, or get into a wreck, you’d rather that your dog have less room to move around inside the kennel. Many customers have also found that their dog feels more secure when traveling in a tighter area too.
For further explanation on this point, let Seth Bynum, a Veterinarian, break it down for you.

Check out the below visual. When the door is closed, the proper fit for safe travel could mean that your dog:
• Is curled
• Paws are tucked
• Rump/tail is resting against the back
