Dog Backpack for Multi-Day Treks with Removable Saddlebags, Compression System and Hydration Bladders

The Ruffwear Palisades Dog Backpack is built for multi-day treks, giving dogs organized gear storage through roomy saddlebags, multiple pockets and an external daisy chain. Its cross-load compression system helps stabilize the carried load while the breathable harness chassis supports a secure fit on the trail.

The saddlebags can be removed at camp for lighter side excursions, and two collapsible hydration bladders are included for trail water storage. The pack is available in Red Sumac with Small, Medium and Large/XLarge size options; New, Used-1 and Used-2 condition selections are listed separately.

For safe loading, the source guidance recommends keeping a dog’s total carried weight, including the pack and contents, at no more than 25% of body weight. Dogs new to packs should begin with a light load and increase it gradually as they become accustomed to wearing the pack.
