Better With Each Design

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 wedding gift for active couple and pup
The wedding registry had lots of lovely things but we zero-ed in on the Palisades Dog Backpack. The couple received the pack as an early gift and their Burnese Mountain Dog couldn't be happier!

Just what I needed
Fits the dogs very well and they don’t seem to mind wearing it. Fits multiple discs in both side pockets, perfect to turn your dog into your disc golf caddy

Great harness/ backpack for hikers
Amazing product! Honestly, I love the quality. It's great that it's a harness and backpack in one—such great value for your money. I got a large for my 75 lb dog, and I couldn't be happier with how nice the bag is and the utility room it provides.
