Impact High Anxiety Crate

Why it is listed

Buy this when the dog has already won against wire. Impact published thicker aluminum, smaller vents, and a real dog-damage guarantee. It is not a CPS car crate and it will not fold into a closet.

Pros & cons

Pros

• Impact High Anxiety product/explore pages: 100% escape-proof claim, 62% thicker aluminum vs Collapsible/Stationary, 0.5 in ventilation holes, zinc-plated steel paddle latch plus four butterfly latches, military-grade handles, stackable corners, Lifetime Dog Damage Guarantee plus lifetime manufacturer warranty, 30-day risk-free trial (contiguous US; return shipping fee on the trial terms).
• Hand-built in Hayden, Idaho. Sizes on the XL product: 30 in from $1,089.99 through 40 in / 40+.
• Impact’s own FAQ: choose this model if the dog has already broken wire or the Collapsible crate — Collapsible is “not 100% escape-proof.”

Cons

• Not on the Center for Pet Safety certified list. This is a containment crate, not a CPS 5-star car crate.
• Does not fold. Highest from-price on this table. Bolt-together / stationary setup, not seconds-flat.
• Lifetime dog-damage is this model only. A strong box does not treat separation anxiety (Humane World crate-training 101).
