Hayden, Idaho 🇺🇸

Established in Hayden, Idaho, in 2012, Impact Dog Crates is a family-owned manufacturer dedicated to redefining pet safety through heavy-duty engineering. Born from founder Michael Bailey’s extensive background in military-grade aluminum manufacturing, the company was created to fill a critical gap in the market for secure, indestructible containment solutions. Today, under the leadership of CEO Hunter Bailey, the brand has become the global gold standard for high-anxiety dogs, working K-9 units, and frequent travelers.

Operating out of a state-of-the-art 58,000-square-foot facility in Northern Idaho, Impact Dog Crates handles 100% of its production and distribution in-house. Every crate is constructed using premium, made-in-the-USA aluminum sourced from domestic small businesses. By utilizing aircraft-grade materials and precision CNC machining, the company produces a range of specialized models—including their world-famous collapsible travel crates and reinforced "High Anxiety" units—designed to withstand a lifetime of use.

Company Highlights:

• American Craftsmanship: Every crate is designed, welded, and powder-coated by a dedicated team of engineers and artisans in Hayden, Idaho.

• Military-Grade Engineering: Modeled after high-performance containers used for sensitive military equipment, these crates offer unmatched structural integrity compared to traditional plastic or wire alternatives.

• Escape-Proof Security: Features like reinforced door architecture, zinc steel paddle latches, and butterfly locks cater specifically to "Houdini" dogs and aggressive chewers.

• A Commitment to Giving Back: Beyond manufacturing, the company is a passionate supporter of animal welfare, having donated over 10,000 heavy-duty crates to shelters, rescues, and police K-9 organizations across the country.
