The Ruff Wear Palisades Pack was an excellent choice for my best friend, Dakota. Dakota is a Jack Russell Terrier who loves going on long day hikes with me. If there are streams to cross, so much the better. Initially he was confused by the addition of a backpack to our favorite past time, but when I opened up the pockets and showed him that the things packed inside were his own food and water, he was very excited and instantly took off down the trail. We are training for the Appalachian together next year and will take our first week-long adventure next month. So far the backpack is standing up to all trail conditions, including crossing streams. Everything stays nice and dry inside the spacious pockets of his backpack. Its worth it to take your dog along on a nice, long hike. And if your dog is anything like Dakota he will be proud to carry his own weight."..." Read more
