Ruffwear Palisades Dog Pack

Item #RUF0088 | 19 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good, sturdy, girthy pack

By Ranked #53 - Dog Packs and Accessories January 9, 2012

Steady. Well balanced. Wide load coming through.
Waker is 90 lbs. Large fit good. He had a little bit of excess strap to work with under the belly. As far as the chest strap goes, spot on.
I loaded the pack with towels and full 32 oz. Nalgene bottles on each side. I included a jacket on one side and some mittens on one side and a pair of mittens on the other side to fatten things out. With weight in mind, no more than 5 lbs. on each side should fill this pack. Some water, most of his food, and a few poop bags is what this pack should carry.
Along the top is clip-in for a leash, which works well. I do not feel I could repel this dog from any distance using this as a harness.
The Pack is full of space to fill anything the dog needs....foldable water bowl, extra treats. A leash can be stored, attached, to the pack to make for easy access. You have to be thoughtful. Workable when you need to grab onto an already leashed dog!
Only trouble is getting the mule (dog) to move when fully loaded. Practice before fully loading. When your pack is heavy, who wants to carry your dogs goods?
