Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Is there anything out there similar to the palisades pack without the huge hit to the wallet? I really like that the saddle bags are removable and I like the harness but $130 is a LOT |

| Megan, I'm also thinking about getting that one! I really like all three of the Ruffwear packs haha
I found http://www.ebay.com/itm/400477603354?hlp=false&var= It looks really similar to the palisade and also has removable saddlebags! I haven't been able to find it anywhere else yet though. |

| If your gonna spend the $ do it on the best, anything from ruffwear is worth it! They are the best. Search craigslist, ebay, and backcountryk9 for deals. I bought 2 other brands befor I learned to just buy the best the first time around. _________________ |

| Ebay is your friend I bought a pack for Ava for $30, including shipping. It wasn't the Palisades though, but I think it was the Approach? It had only been used once and its like brand new. The girth is a few inches long for her, but that's nothing a pair of scissors won't fix! |

| Yes, it's a lot more than other packs out there, but you also get the great customer service and warranty behind the product. With any high quality product that the company backs up, you will pay a premium. It'll last you a long time as well as outlast other packs. I've learned this about any gear that needs to perform. You pay the money upfront, but it'll be something that will last and perform. And in the long run, you end up paying less.
Check Craigslist and Ebay. You can sometimes find them there slightly used or at a discount on new. BackcountryK9.com also has some deals. _________________ |

| I agree with everyone completely. After I discovered Ruffwear I haven't gone to any other companies for several types of items.
I've gone through a few types of less expensive backpacks (Outward Hound, EZYDog, etc) and none have held up like Ruffwear. The quality truly is top notch, and they have great customer service.
I considered not spending the money on a second pack when I got Loki, but I'm glad I did. It is well worth the investment. |
