Hey guys! I'm going to get a new crate and in trying to decide between the Gunner and the Impact. Any suggestions? My only concern about the impact is that my GF's new dog is a chewer and already destroyed her wire crate. I'll be working on getting her happy with being created, but I'm still concerned.
Any advice would be awesome!

We use a soft sided crate which is easy to carry with luggage when we travel......so, don't really have any advice.

I’ve seen both first hand. If you’re going to be doing any kind of traveling I would go with the gunner as it’s safety rating is unmatched. A safety test on the impacts was done and they’re essentially a glorified wire crate in a crash test. That being said both are really nice as stationary kennels. Impacts plus side of the collapsible model only, is that it can be collapsed and tucked away when not in use. I’d go with gunner tho. And they’re like half the price of an impact.

Having said all of that I opted for the even cheaper option for inside the house and got a ruff tuff. Roto moldes like the gunners but less bulky and only 200-300 vs 600

I posted the same question on a couple of the working DS FB pages and actually came up with some really good suggestions that I wouldn't have found on my own too easily. Dakota Kennels and KBC kennels look okey good. The Dakota Kennels looks good for travel, similar to the Gunner. The KBC looks like an Impact, but made of what looks to be ½" polyethylene with a solid hinge and latch system!
