Ruffwear Palisades Dog Backpack

Introducing the Ruffwear Palisades Dog Backpack, the pack that puts the deepest backcountry within reach for you and your dog. This is Ruffwear’s highest volume pack, with a modular design built for multi-day treks. Moulded and perforated EVA foam panels on the back and belly keep your dog comfortable and well ventilated mile after mile. The best bit is the removable saddlebags, which clip off so the breathable harness can be worn on its own for stream crossings, trail breaks or settling in at camp. With weight forward saddlebags, clever gear organisation and plenty of adjustment, it’s a proper companion for your canine adventurer.

• The Palisades Pack is a high volume, modular backpack built for dogs tackling multi-day treks.
• Ideal for backpacking, hiking and long days out exploring the trails with your dog.
• Made by Ruffwear, a trusted name in outdoor dog gear.
• Moulded and perforated EVA foam back and belly panels deliver exceptional comfort and breathability.
• Removable saddlebags let the harness be worn on its own to lighten the load for stream crossings, trail breaks or camp.
• Low profile integrated zip pockets on the base harness give you light storage for quick side excursions.
• Radial cut, weight forward saddlebags and flopper stoppers keep the pack and its contents stable against your dog.
• An internal mesh pocket and external gear loops give you flexible ways to pack a sleeping system, food or hydration.
• A padded handle and belly panel spread the load evenly for controlled, comfortable lifting.
• Three leash attachment points keep you connected, with an aluminium V-ring and reinforced webbing loop on the back, plus a chest loop for redirecting dogs that pull.
• Six points of adjustment help you dial in the perfect fit.
• Reflective trim boosts visibility in low light, and a light loop lets you clip on a safety light such as The Beacon.
• Available in a choice of appealing colours to suit you and your dog.
• The shell is bluesign approved, meeting recognised standards for responsible material use.

As a guide, your dog should carry no more than 25% of their body weight, including the pack and its contents. If your dog is new to wearing a pack, start with a light load and build up gradually as they get used to it.
