When it comes to storing your dog's food, you want a solution that keeps kibble fresh, pests out, and your space organized. GUNNER offers two popular options: the GUNNER FOOD CRATE and the G1 KENNEL. While both are built with the same rugged durability, they serve different purposes. This comparison will help you decide which is the best storage solution for your home.
We'll break down the key differences in design, capacity, and versatility. Whether you need a dedicated food container or a multi-purpose kennel that can double as storage, this guide will clarify the tradeoffs. By the end, you'll know exactly which GUNNER product fits your lifestyle.
Design and Durability: Built for the Long Haul
Both the GUNNER FOOD CRATE and G1 KENNEL are made from rotomolded plastic, a process that creates a seamless, impact-resistant shell. This means they can withstand drops, chews, and harsh weather. The G1 KENNEL is crash-tested for vehicle travel, while the FOOD CRATE focuses on airtight storage. Both are easy to clean with soap and water, and they resist odors and stains.
The FOOD CRATE features a locking lid with a rubber gasket that seals out moisture and pests. The G1 KENNEL has a door that can be left open or closed, but it's not airtight. If your priority is keeping kibble fresh and critters out, the FOOD CRATE's seal is a clear advantage. For all-around toughness, both are equally impressive.
- Rotomolded plastic construction in both products
- FOOD CRATE has an airtight seal; G1 KENNEL does not
- Both are easy to clean and resistant to odors
Capacity and Space: How Much Can They Hold?
The GUNNER FOOD CRATE comes in a 35-pound capacity, ideal for a single large dog or a couple of small ones. It's designed to hold a standard 35-pound bag of kibble, with enough room to scoop easily. The G1 KENNEL, on the other hand, is sized for your dog, not your food. Its interior space is meant for a dog to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. While you could technically store food inside a G1 KENNEL, it's not efficient use of space, and the lack of a seal makes it less practical for long-term storage.
If you buy food in bulk or have multiple dogs, you might need more storage. The FOOD CRATE is stackable, so you can add multiple units without taking up too much floor space. The G1 KENNEL is not designed for stacking when occupied, but empty kennels can be nested to save space. For dedicated food storage, the FOOD CRATE wins on capacity and convenience.
- FOOD CRATE holds 35 lbs of kibble
- G1 KENNEL is sized for dog comfort, not food storage
- FOOD CRATE is stackable; G1 KENNEL nests when empty
Versatility: One Product, Multiple Uses
The G1 KENNEL is a multi-purpose tool. It's a safe travel crate, a comfortable home den, and a sturdy carrier for vet visits. You can also use it as a temporary storage bin for gear like leashes, toys, or even dog food bags, but it's not optimal for that purpose. The GUNNER FOOD CRATE is more specialized, but it can also serve as a side table or a step stool in a pinch. Its flat top and sturdy build make it surprisingly versatile.
If you need a product that does double duty, the G1 KENNEL offers more flexibility. But if your primary need is food storage, the FOOD CRATE is purpose-built. Consider your daily routine: if you travel with your dog, the kennel is essential; if you're tired of flimsy plastic bins, the food crate is a worthwhile investment.
- G1 KENNEL serves as travel crate, home den, and carrier
- FOOD CRATE can double as a side table or step stool
- Choose based on your primary need: travel or storage
Practical Tips for Your Purchase
Before you decide, measure your space and think about how you'll use the product. If you're leaning toward the FOOD CRATE, consider the GUNNER DOG BOWL and BOWL MAT to create a complete feeding station. The BOWL MAT catches spills and keeps your floors clean, while the durable bowl complements the crate's rugged aesthetic. For kennel owners, adding an ORTHOPEDIC KENNEL BED ensures your dog's comfort during long stays.

Whichever you choose, you're investing in a product that's built to last. GUNNER's reputation for quality means you won't need to replace these items frequently. Remember to check your dog's size for the kennel and your food consumption rate for the crate. With the right choice, you'll enjoy years of reliable use.
- Pair the FOOD CRATE with a GUNNER DOG BOWL and BOWL MAT for a complete setup
- Add an ORTHOPEDIC KENNEL BED to the G1 KENNEL for extra comfort
- Measure your space and consider your dog's size before purchasing
In the debate between the GUNNER FOOD CRATE and G1 KENNEL, the right choice depends on your needs. If you want a dedicated, airtight solution for dog food storage, the FOOD CRATE is unmatched. If you need a versatile kennel that can also store items occasionally, the G1 KENNEL is the better investment. Both are durable, well-designed products that reflect GUNNER's commitment to quality. Assess your priorities, and you'll make the right call for you and your dog.
