Our kennel is cooler than yours. Really. The GUNNER stays consistently cooler than leading aluminum & single-wall rotomolded crates.
20% LESS ENERGY
Your dog likes our kennel better, too. They expend 20% less energy to stay warm in the GUNNER kennel in freezing temps, compared to leading single-wall rotomolded & aluminum kennels.
2X SHOCK PROTECTION
In a vehicle accident at 35 mph, an unrestrained 60 lb. dog can become 2,700 lb. of projectile. GUNNER's double-walled construction means atleast 2x the impact protection for the dog, as the exterior layer absorbs the majority of an initial impact, with the interior wall providing another layer of protection.
ESCAPE PROOF DESIGN
Trust the thousands of reviews that say the same: even Houdini couldn't figure out our door system. The door is also a powerful player in our safety equation, and one of the reasons this kennel has saved so many K9 lives.

Gunner Save Stories
"My girls, they are my world, would be dead if it wasn’t for GUNNER."

Aurora would have flown to the floor and likely broke her back from the impact.""If she had been on my lap, Rainey would be dead from the impact of the airbag.

We have a sizing resource page that shows your dimensions, suggested sizing and even offers a quiz so that you can find a custom fit for your dog.
We also ask our Pack members to submit their dogs' photos and stats, and index them for you. You can filter by breed, dog weight, vehicle and more here.
Do you offer any discounts?
GUNNER offers a 5% discount for all military and veterans, as well as a discount for law enforcement and first responders. To redeem your military, veteran, law enforcement and/or first responder discount code, choose the "verify with ID.me" button option on our checkout page.
How do you anchor your kennel to the vehicle?
The straps are an add-on accessory to the Kennel. A critical part of the safety equation – both internally and through the Center For Pet Safety – is using our GUNNER Tie-Down Straps and they are the only ones we recommend.
To learn how to anchor your kennel to a vehicle with our strap, see here.
How does the Black kennel do in heat?
Based on our testing, the black G1™ Kennel color should not make a significant difference in interior temperature. Essentially, the material we use for the GUNNER kennels has a "temperature ceiling" or a maximum temperature it will reach from sun exposure. All of our kennels—regardless of color—could reach this specific temperature depending on weather, location, and various other factors. see our full breakdown of this issue here.
It's important to note though that the double-wall construction keeps the temperature inside the kennel relatively stable. Although the surface of the kennel may feel warmer, the interior will not due to the double-walled construction.
Reviews
"SAVED MY DOG"
"I had the kennel for exactly one week and got in a wreck, my chocolate lab was in the kennel at the time of the accident. We hit an oak tree going 65 MPH. Not a single thing was wrong with my dog or the kennel! The kennel hit so hard that it crushed a steel tool box that was bolted on my truck. I would recommend GUNNER to any dog owner in the world. These kennels are awesome!!"
Kendall M.
"CUSTOMER SERVICE GREAT"
"Major upgrade. Quality is the best money can buy. Customer Service from GUNNER was great! Received my order in two days!"
Colton R.
“INVEST IN THEIR SAFETY"
"Keeping my dogs safe is my #1 priority. With GUNNER I don’t have to worry. If you’re on the fence, just do it. You invest in your dogs, now invest in their safety."
