Trail Tested Promise

The Palisades Pack puts the deepest of backcountry within reach for you and your dog. Our highest-volume pack, it's designed for multi-day treks with roomy saddlebags that host a cross-load compression system for stable, comfortable gear carry. The saddlebags attach securely to a breathable harness chassis, and can be removed at camp to lighten the load for side-excursions.

Multiple pockets and an external daisy chain store and organize your dog's trekking necessities like a sleeping system, food, and even two collapsible hydration bladders that come with the pack.

It’s recommended that your dog carry no more than 25% of their body weight, including pack weight and its contents. If your dog is new to dog packs, start with a light load and work up to a heavier load as your dog gets used to wearing the pack.

What's New: The Palisades has a long history in the Ruffwear pack lineup, and this season's updates were inspired by customer feedback. More breathability and flexibility with a perforated, molded foam chassis; improved fade-resistance with new materials; updated "flopper stopper" system for easier use when stabilizing saddlebags, new stash pocket configuration.

Check out this article if you need help choosing the right pack.

Awesome
I have a border collie and when we go hiking and camping, she can carry her own gear and food. That really helps me. Its become a team effort.

This pack is built to last. Probably have a solid 500 miles plus on this pack alone on my English Labrador Waylon. Adjustable, comfortable, enough room for him to carry most of his essentials for a proper hike.

Great Pack
Got the medium for our 8 month old lab puppy. The fit is great. We haven't loaded him up completely yet but he carried his own food for a 35km backpacking trip and did awesome. Lots of pockets and adjustment, had to watch a few videos to familiarize myself with all of the features. Well made and great quality. Will purchase the next size up when he inevitably grows out of this one.

Can’t imagine backpacking without this
This pack has been the best I’ve tried and Jolene’s favorite. It’s well balanced, easy to adjust, and the number of times we’ve needed the handle or the harness to keep her safe on our adventures has made it well worth the purchase
