Nashville, Tenn. — July 22, 2025 — Gunner, a manufacturer of premium dog products recognized for redefining safety standards in canine travel, announces the launch of their latest innovation: the Homestead Dog Bed. Overbuilt and made to move from the living room to the garage, the Homestead Dog Bed features best-in-class materials and dog-and-owner-approved design details. It’s everything the others aren’t: easy to clean, convenient to carry, hard to wear out, and preferred by dogs who put in miles.

Gunner made a name for themselves with their flagship product, the G1 Kennel –  widely regarded as the gold standard in canine travel safety. The Homestead Dog Bed is the brand’s first bed design created specifically for the home, expanding a product line that seamlessly supports a dog owner’s lifestyle, whether relaxing indoors or adventuring outside.

“The launch of the Homestead Bed is a huge step for all of us here at Gunner,” said Addison Edmonds, Founder of Gunner. “The inspiration for this design came to us the same way as the idea for the G1 Kennel: we weren’t satisfied with existing products on the market, so we decided to roll up our sleeves and make the best version possible worthy of dogs who go the extra mile. Within just a few days of side-by-side testing with other dog beds, every office dog consistently chose the Homestead Dog Bed.”

The Homestead Dog Bed is “Gunner-grade” — overbuilt the way it engineers everything else —no shortcuts, no compromises. 

  • Durable Cover: Water-repellent, stain-resistant, antimicrobial & hypoallergenic – it won’t trap odor, and the performance material can be put through the wringer without letting you down.
  • 3D Loop Core: Breathable, mold-resistant, and fire-retardant; the 3-D Loop core’s proprietary construction offers 100% airflow for better temp regulation in hot & cold seasons. This is the same material used in mattresses for newborns. Plus, it won’t break down or trap smells like foam does. 
  • Waterproof Non-Slip Base: Made from TPU-coated material (same as Gunner’s All-Weather Kit); stays put on hardwood, concrete or tile.
  • Dog-Preferred Bolster Shape: Continuous perimeter support designed to match dogs’ instinct to curl up and nest. Enough room for all sleeping styles, and low enough for the older dogs’ easy access.
  • Easy-Carry Handle: Added for real-life usability — one of the most appreciated features during testing.
  • Heavy-Duty YKK Zippers: Smooth, snag-free, and built to last.
  • Washable and practical. Designed to be easy to clean, spot clean, and machine wash without frustration. Easy to disassemble and reassemble with a machine-washable cover. 
  • Made in the USA of global materials: The 3D loop core is manufactured in Tennessee. Designed and tested in Nashville, Tennessee.

To break down the innovation in the Homestead Dog Bed’s construction even further, the bed insert is made from a 3D loop material often found in premium infant mattresses. It boasts durability, breathability, and support, contrasting sharply with the plush cushion and foam inserts found in most dog beds on the market. The 3D Loop material maintains its shape, doesn’t retain water, is easy to clean, and is a breeze to get in and out of the cover.

“We’ve watched dogs of all sizes curl up, sprawl out, and put the Homestead through the wringer,” said Bobby Snell, Gunner Senior Industrial Designer. “From the easy-care capabilities to the no-snag zippers to the grab-and-go handle, no detail was overlooked during the design process. Both our dog and human testers are fully backing the final product.”

The Homestead Dog Bed is offered in two sizes, three colorways.
