Why it matters
The G1 is a double-wall travel kennel. Its Small, Medium and Intermediate sizes appear on the Center for Pet Safety (CPS) list with five-star ratings when strapped down as directed. GUNNER sizes by weight: Small up to 30 lb, Medium up to 45 lb, Intermediate up to 70 lb, and Large and XL for 71 lb and up; the larger two are not on the CPS list. GUNNER gives a lifetime warranty. Price rises with size (Medium about $650).

- Frequent car travel
