Palisades™ Dog Backpack

multi-day backpacking pack

Color

Selected: Red Sumac

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.
