Featured Image for Impact Review Article

Does your pet like to destroy things and love to escape from crates? Do you have a hard time containing him inside the cage? Well, we might have found a solution to your troubles. Impact Collapsible model is undoubtedly worth or your time and money, especially if you are dealing with energetic canines.

The enclosure isn’t designed to house large and powerful breeds. However, if you have a medium-size pet, then we are convinced this product will match your criteria. Providing a secure environment for your furry friend is an essential thing.

It will come in handy while you are away or traveling. And, while there are many opinions out there, we love all the features the cage has to offer. It will take you a couple of minutes to read all the reviews and see that all pooch parents are highly satisfied with this crate.

So, let’s break down this review and see what can you expect from this enclosure.

The features you might like:

Quick and straightforward transportation – when you read the product specification, you will notice it says the cage can be collapsed in a matter of seconds. Naturally, we wondered if this claim is genuine or not. After performing some research and based on user’s feedback, we concluded it takes you a couple of minutes to fold it.

Durability – many dog owners have been concerned about the materials and construction of the cage. Considering its made of aluminum, which is known to be soft, this material doesn’t take away the product’s strength. The kennel features sturdy .063 aluminum and is resistant to corrosion, tear and wear.

Lightweight – when combined with other alloys, aluminum and steel can be surprisingly heavy, which is not the case with this enclosure. Surprisingly, this product is light, which makes it perfect for packing and traveling. You don’t have to worry about the luggage, and pulling a heavy container around when you have an Impact model.

The features you might not like:

Compared to other products, the price for this one is a bit higher, which may bother many pet parents. But, when we include all the things you are getting, it is worthy of your money. You can find different prices online and even discounts, if you are patient enough.

Construction (Materials & Quality)

It’s crafted from aluminum. This is a high-quality material which features a powder coated finish. The manufacturers used aluminum to make sure your pet will never break down the enclosure.

While doing this review, we notice that many owners who have extensive and aggressive breeds adore this model (and these indestructible beds). They even openly confessed of trying many other options, but not any of them managed to satisfy their needs. The pet parents simply couldn’t find the case that will keep their canine tight and locked.

If you have a mischievous pup who is likely to escape from wire crates, then you need a cage that offers better coverage and strength. You will probably notice that some non-wire enclosures feature small vent holes. Unfortunately, these holes aren’t always big enough and don’t provide enough airflow.

In the worst case scenario, the lack of air can be lethal for your pet. But, you don’t have to stress because it has installed large vent holes. They allow your pet to breathe easily and you don’t have to be concerned for his well-being all the time.

As we mentioned before, some dogs are amazing escape artists. If you have a similar pet, then you’ve probably dealt with this situation before. Depending on the latches your case has, they will either keep your pooch inside or he will escape. The complex locking system can be frustrating, but it’s the only solution against restless pets.

The latch Impact is very secure, but also user-friendly. You will worry less about your furry friend escaping, and the locks are quite simple to use.

Having in mind the color, you have probably noticed the light tan finish. Well, there is a reason behind that shade. It is designed to reflect the light and to keep the heat away from the cage.

Weights & Dimensions

The Impact model comes in two sizes, large and X-large. If you are not sure what size to pick, then make sure to check out their website for proper measures. The cage manufacturer provides the following dimensions:

Large Exterior – 35″L x 25″W x 29″H

X-Large Interior – 40″L x 22″W x 28″H

As you can see from the measurements, the enclosure offers enough room for your pet. Even if you have a small pup, the product is perfect. He will have more space for toys and play. Various size breeds can enjoy this cage and have plenty of room to stretch their legs.

The size of the crate decreases the pup’s discomfort and helps him battle the anxiety. Every time you choose a cage, keep in mind your dog’s well-being and do everything to make him comfortable.

The lightweight makes this crate ideal for transportation and travel. When flying, it is essential to have an acceptable enclosure. Airlines can be demanding about the stuff you can and cannot bring with you.
