TESTED & PROVEN TO SAVE


The GUNNER kennel is the original 5 Star Crash Tested crate per the Center for Pet Safety. But don’t just take our word for it. The receipts are there. The G1™ is tested and proven in real accidents. Hear from dozens of real customers who say GUNNER kennels saved their dogs' lives.

"I was taken by ambulance to a local hospital and life flighted to Boise where I stayed in the hospital for about two days. Beau escaped the wreck completely unscathed."

– BEN BOEHMIG

"I was told the car that hit me head on was traveling in excess of 130 miles an hour. He is lucky that I am still here and I am lucky that he is still alive as well."

– Spencer Rogers

"Watching first responders use the Jaws of Life to pry the hatch open was totally surreal [...] car was completely destroyed & the GUNNER Kennels had nothing more than a couple of scratches."

– KERRY HALL

"Thanks for saving my dogs’ lives with your kennels. I had more than $40,000 worth of dogs in that kennel. My truck was totaled, I got more banged up than the dogs did."

– GARY LINNENKOHL

"I’m just happy I walked away alive. But I can tell you this, if that dog of mine was in my back seat she would be dead. That’s exactly why I have her ride in my bed in that Gunner. The kennel took a little beating, but she made it alright as well."

– Ryan Barton

"The kennel was thrown 30 yards from the wreck. I was made fun of by some of my buddies for having such an expensive kennel, but we all know that I got the last word when it saved my dog."

– DERREK PAYNE

"Hook went for a ride. It launched the crate pretty far and then rolled. The kennel landed at least twice as far as the photo shows. The GUNNER kennel door stayed locked the whole time too."

– CHARLIE BARBERINI

"I had a couple cracked ribs but my buddy Kobe and I are all good. Thank God I had a GUNNER, I know that having it saved him."

– DUSTIN BAKER

"I was trapped. I asked bystanders to release him from the crate, and they back to tell me that he was fine. I'm telling you that Lincoln made it through this accident without a scratch."

– DILLON LAW

"If it had been any other kennel I know my dog wouldn’t be alive and you wouldn’t be talking to me today, or I’d be terribly injured. I’d buy another one in a heartbeat."

– Ted Penge

"I am still in shock that those dogs made it out of that wreck alive, heck I'm shocked my husband and I made it out alive. ... I can't tell you how many times I thanked God, and the founder of GUNNER Kennels, Addison Edmonds, after that car wreck."

– Kathleen Blanks

"Roxie was fine. She was absolutely fine. I know that if it was to happen again, that I’m pretty sure my dog’s going to be okay. That’s priceless to me, Roxie changed my life."

– Jodie Dean

"Not even four months ago, I purchased 4 Gunner Kennels. I'm glad I listened to my gut. My girls, they are my world, would be dead if it wasn’t for Gunner Kennels."

– Gunner Customer

"She did not have a scratch on her. The kennel did exactly what it was supposed to do and I am so thankful for it."

– Olivia Z.

CRASH TESTED STRAPS

Crash testing was a critical part of our R&D and impacted the kennel's final design. We went back to the drawing board several times to get it right. This included our strap system. In that testing, we were also making sure our Tie-Down Strap Kit passed muster. These are CPS certified and 5 Star Crash Tested.

5 STAR CRASH TESTED

A GUNNER kennel was 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. Design 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.

CAR RUNNING FROM POLICE HIT ME AT 130MPH
A few nights ago I was on my way to our duck club with my lab, Bullet – who was riding in a GUNNER Intermediate crate in the bed of my F-250 – when I was hit head-on by a runaway car going north of 130MPH. Or so I’m told, as it happened in a split second. The driver was apparently being pursued by the police, I never had a chance to get out of his path.

ROLLOVER WITH 7 PASSENGERS & A DOG
I was driving our Mercedes Sprinter van one night with my five young kids, my wife, and my dog. A loose tire-axle-hub assembly hit us head-on in the dead of night. I'm a state trooper, but nothing could've prepared me for this. Here's what happened.
