GUNNER® strap sets are the only ones that we recommend, and have met each of the brand’s crash test standards. They are the straps that the Center For Pet Safety recommends using when anchoring your crate to your vehicle for 5 Star Crash Test certified safety.
Our new & improved tie-downs are made with an extra-thick custom cam buckle for additional break strength and a synthetic material that ensures you can leave these out 24/7: better guarding against fading and stretching, and perfect for high abrasion environments.
Read why it's important to use GUNNER® straps for safe travel.
This GUNNER® tough-skin insert provides a 3/4” pad of cushion for the crate, as well as waterproof comfort for the sporting dog’s tired joints on the ride home.
GUNNER® kennels are engineered for your dog, designed for travel and built for peace of mind. The innovation of the G1™ has set the bar for safe dog crates. Here's why.
Double-Wall Rotomolded
The market's only double-wall rotomolded crate better guards your dog from both human error and outside forces. Tough enough to protect against the unexpected.
The second layer separation reduces the amount of UV light that can reach inside of the kennel. Plus the interior surface stays smooth, without potential protrusions from inserts to potentially harm your dog. Learn more.
Escape-Proof, Reversible Door
Even Houdini couldn't escape this crate. The GUNNER® door system is built specifically to contain a dog before, during and after a wreck. The powerful proprietary nylon of the G1™ door is custom welded, powder coated and reinforced with an aluminum frame. We went back to the drawing board several times to get this just right.
Heavy Duty For Safety
If it takes a little more muscle to move the GUNNER® it's because of its double-walled construction, which offers at least 2x the impact protection than a single-wall. The exterior layer absorbs the majority of an initial impact, with the interior wall adding another layer of protection for your dog. We won't compromise the GUNNER® integrity to shave off 5 pounds of weight. Learn more.
Made in America
Our crates are proudly designed, manufactured and assembled in the United States of America. No bs here.
It takes more than 120 parts to make the GUNNER® kennel, and we work with 20+ small businesses across this country to create our kennels and accessories.
Innovative Drainage System
An oversized, removable drain plug makes for easy cleaning. The recessed floor makes sure your dog isn't sitting in water or mud on the trip home
Wider Base
A wider base better prevents rollover, and any unwanted movement
Built-In Tie-Down Pins
GUNNER®'s integrated stainless-steel pins & tie-down strap combination ensures anchoring to the vehicle. The combination has been tested to not rip from kennel on impact
Non-Slip Elevated Feet
Raises crate off the ground, limiting heat transmission or conduction from surfaces. Stabilizes kennel and reduces any slippage
Custom Door System
Custom welded, powder-coated and reinforced aluminum frame. Addison's door system is the first of its kind. Stainless-steel Piano Hinge and hexagonal door design keeps paws in and teeth off
Superstrong Carry Handles

5 STAR CRASH TESTED
The GUNNER® kennel is the original dog crate to earn a 5 Star Crash Test Rating from the Center for Pet Safety. See what that means and why that matters.
"VIRTUALLY BOMBPROOF"
You said it, not us. Tested to withstand a 630 lb. sled dropped from over 8 feet, a 200-foot cliff drop, 4,000 lb. of force and a 12-gauge shot gun and more.
PROTECTS IN ALL WEATHER
Due to its double-wall rotomolded construction and patented details, the GUNNER® kennel has properties that work for your dog in all types of weather.
Our double-wall rotomolded construction offers an extra layer of material which helps limit UV rays, as well as humidity.
Rubber feet raise the G1™ off the ground, limiting heat transmission from hot surfaces like truck beds & pavement.
Purchasing our pad accessories add an additional layer of protection, helping bring temps down inside the crate.
The G1™ has ample airflow with 10 windows on its sides, a vented door and three rear windows. The G1™ Fan Kit gets even more air circulation through there.
We conducted temperature tests using our kennel & others on the market. There was a nearly 50 degree difference between one popular crate and ours. See results here
The second layer of construction on our G1™ adds extra protection against outside chill and cold winds.
Rubber feet raise the G1™, limiting heat transmission out of kennel & allowing the dog to retain warmth.
In the same way, our pad accessories limits heat conduction from the frozen ground, keeping the dog cozy in there.
Engineers specifically designed the window vents to repel elements like water, sleet & snow. Plus our All-Weather Kit provides additional protection.
GUNNER® tests on cold winter days showed that the G1™ stayed anywhere from 15-45 degrees warmer inside the kennel than exterior temperatures.
DOG'S LIFE WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!
After investing countless dollars in cheaper crates that all my buddies told me where “just as good,” I finally invested in the last crate I will ever own. All you have to do is put your hands on one and you’ll know... this is the real deal. I can’t believe how well these are built. I hope to never test the safety of this crate but I can’t sleep well knowing that my dog will be safe if I ever have to. Don’t be a cheap ass, buy a GUNNER®!

ROCK SOLID
Exceptional value and made rock solid. I sold all my aluminum kennels and now use only GUNNER® kennels.

SMART INVESTMENT
A small investment compared to the one you put in with your dog. There is no reason to go with any other option.
- Jason M.
MOMMA ALWAYS TOLD ME....
Momma always told me not to short myself when buying two things. Well, I just added one more thing to momma's list. 'You get what you pay for' has never been more clear to me.
– Will P.
NO MORE SKEPTICISM
I love this kennel and so does my dog Moose. I followed the brand for about a year before pulling the trigger. Well after a trip out to the Texas Hill Country I am more than satisfied. AM A BELIEVER.
– Jason S.
THE PERFECT KENNEL
Exactly what I was expecting, the perfect kennel.

GREAT KENNEL
Shipped fast, put together in about 20 minutes, works great, looks great, dog likes it. Little heavy, but I can wing it into the back of a f-250 by myself with just a little effort. Didn’t realize it had wheels when I ordered it. Nice feature.
- Tommy M.
BEST KENNELS EVER
No other kennels on the market even come close to the quantity and design of GUNNER®. I drive 8 hours round trip almost every weekend with my lab. I now no longer have any worries about the safety of my dog if an accident was to occur. You get what you pay for when it comes to GUNNER®.
- Kaitlyn T.
BUILT FOR LIFE
This thing is built like a tank! He’s very protected and I’m so happy to have made the investment. When it was 85 degrees outside recently, it was much cooler inside his kennel due to the double walled construction. Highly recommend this kennel if you can afford the investment.
