Ruffwear Palisades Dog Backpack

Ruffwear Palisades is a dog backpack with versatile features that you should definitely consider, especially if camping is your regular hobby. 2022 updated version.

Ruffwear Palisades is a whole that has been thought out to the last detail, and its built-in compression system sets it apart from all other dog backpacks. Thanks to the tightening rubber bands inside the bags, the volume of the bags can be adjusted and the center of gravity of the backpack sits as close as possible to the dog's body, meaning the backpack cannot swing from side to side and disturb the dog's balance.

Ruffwear Palisades is based on the Y-pattern underneath the quick-detachable bags For the Ruffwear Web Master harness . The harness is popular among hikers already as it is: thanks to the chest and belly straps and the sturdy handle on the back, you can help the dog in difficult terrain and the harness can't be released by reversing either.

The Palisades backpack is perfect for multi-day hikes - or of course also for shorter trips.

Ruffwear Palisades Pack size selection

First, measure your dog's chest (from the widest point behind the front legs). After that, compare the other measurements of that size given in the table with your dog.

• The transverse breast strap can be tightened even smaller, the maximum length is mentioned in the table.
• You should especially check that the length of the longitudinal chest strap is sufficient, so that the transverse chest strap does not rub the back of the armpits.
• From the length of the back, you can see how far the back belly strap extends
