Reviews

Performance Pad

"Performance Pad is perfect for trips and when my dog is wet or covered in dirt after a day in the field. Has some nice cushion for comfort but also built well for the elements. All around solid purchase."

— Justin C. (5/5)

Speedy Clean Up

"This pad is a must during hunting season. Hunting dogs are in and out of mud and water. This pad is easy to clean and does not soak up water. It is a must for Hunting dogs. Craig Chambless/Chambless Game Totes LLC"

— Craig C. (5/5)

A Chauffeur's Best Friend

"The Performance Pads are a great addition to the Gunner Kennel. Easy clean for the type of mess that the adventuring/sporting sort of Miss or Mr. Daisy in your life might bring in to the kennel--(their minions are another matter). Performance Pads are cushiony enough for the persnickety type too."

— Tina H. (5/5)

Quiet rest after a long day in the field!

"Two medium sized Gunner Kennels for my two Boykin Spaniels. After a day in the field in the field I used towels to warm my dogs in their kennels. They obviously did not like the towels shredding them every time. I added the Performance Pad to each kennel - problem solved. My dogs settled in quickly and slept quietly for the ride home. The Performance Pad is an awesome product for Gunner Kennels!"

— John H. (5/5)

great product your need to

"great product your need to work on delivery took almost 2 wks to get Cabela's ship items next day"

— Bob C. (5/5)

Love the Pad but One suggestion!

"Pad is holding up great. Only issue I have had with it is when my fan is mounted at the top of the door, you can’t have the water bowl at the bottom because the bowl hits the pad. Needs to have a carve out for the bowl. I also could move my fan to the side to solve this but I don’t want my fan on the side. Love all of my gunner products."

— Mcalpin M. (5/5)

Works well

"Performance pad works as intended. Once my pup was done with his chewing phase I started running this in his kennel. Easily cleans off."

— Keaton M. (5/5)

Performance pad not custom contoured for medium kennel

"Great kennel and performance pad is made a nice material, but it is not custom cut for my medium size kennel. It leaves several gaps along the floor and essentially waste space and is an area to trap things that fall down. I did not know this when I ordered the kennel and pad and strap bundle. The dog appears to want to paw at the gap in the edges around the whole kennel. Looking for another more suitable material that fills the gap to make the floors flat. The photos on the website show the pad custom cut to the entire dimensions, but that is not the case as I learned for the medium. Perhaps the larger kennels are custom cut. Very unhappy given the cost and not finding anything in the description to state that it would not fit the floor perfectly. . . would hope it would’ve been perfectly cut as it is right now I can’t use it with my working puppy and need another solution - from now she is riding without anything on the bottom."

— David H. (2/5)

What are the measurements for this pad, length and width?
Hey Rebekah! I think I spoke with you on chat. Let us know if we can help with anything else in the future
Is there a pad to recommend for a puppy that likes to chew?
