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.

    Great fit.

    I love the versatility of the palisades pack. The design of the panniers is very functional and easy to distribute weight properly. I graduated my dog from the daypack to the palisades and I’m glad I did.

    Adventures for days!

    Love the quality of the pack. Now my dog can quite literally carry their own weight and pitch in ;)

    Can't wait to use it for back country camping

    Fits my golden retriever well. Excited for the water pouches and for her to carry her own food or other light gear. Really like the removable paxk option and doesn't slip around like other packs

    Great!!

    Perfect. First backpacking dog pack. The way it works makes it suitable for small loads too. Favorite part is that it works well with our preferred webbing harness with front pull - we just put it on over the pack harness.

    Amazing

    I loved this harness / backpack. I have a 63# 6 month old Golden Retriever that I hope to make my trail buddy. I have just started him getting him used to the bag, nothing more than some water int it. He loves it, it rides well on his body, great adjustments, and all around great materials. I am impressed with Ruffwear products.
