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.

Reviews Summary

Customers say this dog backpack is comfortable, well-fitting, and durable for hiking adventures. Many appreciate the removable saddlebags that allow dogs to take breaks while keeping the harness on. Users find the multiple pockets and included water bladders particularly useful for multi-day trips. The adjustable straps accommodate different dog sizes and body types effectively. Customers report their dogs adapt quickly to wearing the pack and seem comfortable carrying their own gear. Many reviews mention the pack's ability to hold substantial amounts of equipment while maintaining good weight distribution. Some note concerns about waterproofing in heavy rain conditions and potential for fabric tears on rough terrain. A few mention the pack can be bulky when fully loaded.

Perfect pack
Very adjustable, no nonsense pack. We just got a second pack (one for each dog) and our first one is still chugging along just fine, even with all the miles we’ve put on it.

Perfect for hikes and running
We use the backpack part for hiking letting the dog carry all her stuff and the harness part is perfect for everything else including walks, swimming, and running.
