Sizing the Ruffwear Palisades Pack

Available in 3 sizes, the Palisades Pack is designed for mid to large sized dogs who are physically fit.  **If you need a pack for a smaller or less fit dog, check out the Approach Pack or Front Range Day Pack.

Measure around your dog's girth/chest. The pack should fit snugly so that it does not shift and stays stable.  If your dog is right on the cut-off between sizes, Ruffwear recommends sizing down.

Do not recommend sizing up just to get extra capacity.  

* PLEASE NOTE: it is not recommended that your dog carry more than 20% of their body weight in their dog pack - this includes the weight of the pack & the contents.  

If your dog is new to dog packs, start with an empty bag and gradually, over a period of days or weeks, work up to a heavier load as your dog gets accustomed to wearing the pack.
