Maddi's got a RuffWear Palisades II pack. I really like it as it comes with its own water bladders and spouts that go on the bladders. It stays in place really well because it actually sits on a harness (and you can remove the saddle bags to give your dog a break, which I love). It's also got 2 really large compartments alone with four smaller compartments. It's a little more than I need for the type of hiking I currently do, but it's the only one I could get that looked really good. RuffWear also makes the Approach II pack, which is a little smaller (and the one I originally wanted) and a bit cheaper... I paid a little of $90 for this one. The only big tip I can give you is make sure you measure your dog or try the harness on before you buy one. I bought a medium for and it just barely fits her (too big), even though I measure her and her measurements were smack dap in the middle of the medium size. Anyway, here's their website:

Anyway, I really like it as it's durable... although it's NOT water proof, so don't let your dog carry any electronic stuff (I found out the hard way [
]).
