Those of you who hike with dogs, what brand pack does your dog wear? I am thinking I may need to buy a new one, as the current one has a buckle that is right in the axillary (armpit) region, and has rubbed a raw spot on my poor pup's elbow on the last two trips. I tried to wrap a bandanna around it this last time to see if that would help, but I think it got wet and may have just been worse. We currently have the pack by Mountainsmith. It fits her well, and was cheaper than alternatives, which is why I bought it in the first place.

Anyway, I would like to hear what other packs you have used and your experience with them, particularly in regards to whether they rubbed raw spots or not. Ruffwear's Palisades pack seems to be the Cadillac of dog packs, but gosh it is expensive.
