"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 door stayed locked the whole time too. Hook owes his life to it."

– CHARLIE BARBERINI

I WAS TRAPPED. I ASKED THE BYSTANDERS TO RELEASE HIM FROM THE CRATE, AND THEY CAME BACK TO TELL ME THAT HE WAS FINE. I'M TELLING YOU THAT LINCOLN MADE IT THROUGH THIS ACCIDENT WITHOUT A SCRATCH. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

- DILLON LAW

"Gunner Kennels saved his life that night. Grizz walked away from the situation without any injuries, and he was riding right where the blow happened. You can’t tell me your dog’s life isn’t worth a kennel."

- PEYTON BULLARD

“I asked the police to open the Gunner kennel while I was trapped inside. They said he walked out wagging his tail.”

- SPENCER ROGERS

"The truck came out of nowhere, completely destroying my back end of my Yukon. If Clyde had been sitting in the car he would’ve gone through the windshield. There was glass everywhere in the trunk, but no glass in Clyde."

– SCOTT DEATON

"No doubt in my mind that if Coy had been in another plastic kennel it would've been bad – and the scary thing is, I had him in one of those cheaper ones recently. Y'all helped save my pup's life."

– WILL DUNNAM

"Thankfully he was good to go for the rest of duck season. I am forever in y’all’s debt. Gunner Kennels really saved my dog’s life. He wouldn’t be here today if weren’t for y’all."

– JAMES THOMPSON

"I found Kase in his kennel 15 yards down the road from where my truck had flipped. I'm very thankful to Gunner Kennels for keeping him safe and alive."

– KODY VAN PELT

"If I had gone with a lesser quality kennel, it would’ve been completely smashed back there. I really want to give a testament to what your kennel did for me. I want to thank y’all very much for that."

– JOSH MOORE

"I don’t want to think about what would’ve happened if it hadn’t been a Gunner. Your kennel saved my dog's life."

– SPENCER HARRIS

"The kennel took the direct hit. The K9 officer asked what type of kennel I was using. I said: ‘It's a Gunner, I won’t trust anything else with my K9 partner."

– KHARA SCHUETZNER

"If Diesel had been loose in the car – or is another crate back there in the bed – I don't believe he would still be with us. I would never want Diesel traveling in any other dog box, and no dog of mine will ever ride in anything else."

– ZACKARY RAKISITS

"Not even four months ago I purchased Gunner Kennels. I'm glad I listened to my gut.
⁠
In February my worst fear happened. I was in a severe car accident with my Nissan Sentra and two mini schnauzers. We were coming home from an agility trial.⁠ My dogs could be dead without them."

– Pyper's Legacy

"The Small is the first, and only, product to be award a dual certification in both the crate and carrier categories. Test dog size: 30 lb."

– Center for Pet Safety

"The Gunner Kennel G1 Medium (with Gunner Kennels strength-rated 8´ tie-down straps) is awarded a 5 Star Crash Test Rating from Center in the Pet Crate category. Test dog size: 45 lb."

– Center for Pet Safety

"When I walked back there and found Bear alive, I wanted to call you right away because I was almost in tears. He was in a head-on collision going 55 mph & now I’m out here tonight throwing bumpers to him."

Chris Killion

"If our dog had been in a junk crate & not a Gunner, I’m pretty certain it would’ve turned into chards during this accident. I think this kennel saved my dog & my daughter from harm."

ALAN WAGNER

"I PURCHASED THE GUNNER JUST 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS WRECK. THERE ISN'T A DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT YOUR DOG BOX IS WHAT SAVED TRIP."

ASHLEY GUTHRIE

I WAS AT A RED LIGHT WHEN A VEHICLE DRIVEN BY A MAN ON DRUGS HIT ME GONG 62MPH. "GRETCHEN WAS SHAKEN, BUT THERE WAS NOT A SCRATCH ON HER. THE KENNEL SAVED HER LIFE!"

AMY KRAUS

"Tex was a little shaken – I’m sure it traumatized the poor guy – but today he gets back in it like nothing ever happened. Shoutout to Gunner because after this I know they are worth every penny!"

DEX ALLEN

"When I was finally able to stop I was totally amazed. My crate was strapped down, it hadn’t moved an inch. Roxie’s body was tight but I knew she wasn’t hurt or even scared. That’s why I wrote, because I was just so thankful."

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.
