For my 88lb German Shepherd Size Medium
I have a very active 4 year old German Shepherd who is 88 lbs and very lean. Prior to this backpack I was using a backpack made by Dickens that I found at a PetCo and even though I hated it, I used it until the end. That backpack tended to slide to one side of my dog and the front strap always made it difficult for Ollie to go upstairs. The final straw was one of the clips breaking. There are a few things I love about this backpack. The straps underneath don't hang to the ground because you can keep them all tied up with the lining. The clips are on the side of my dog so I don't have to reach underneath him to unhook him. The strap in the front sits high up on him so that it is much easier for him to go upstairs and run in the backpack. I looked at reviews for the older model of the Mountainsmith dog Pack and decided to go for a size medium for my 88lb dog, which was absolutely perfect. My other backpack was a large and was way too loose for my very lean dog. I will post a picture of...

Good Bag - Size Down
I have a 55lb husky-shephard mix. Based on the other reviews and the price difference between the medium (~$55) and the small (~$20), I ordered him the small. It fits perfectly with room to grow.

The sizing guide for the small states:
20'' - 30'' girth - smaller girths can be accommodated by removing the padding on the straps (it does not give a min. girth)
15'' length (minimum)
20-40lbs recommended weight - base your purchase on the girth and length of your dog.
600 cubic inches capacity
9''x14''x85'' dimensions
15 oz weight (empty)

Based on the size of the compartments, I'll likely be buying another back for anything more than a 1-2 night backpacking trip.

Each compartment can hold a standard 1 liter nalgene standing upright (they will not fit lying down). This leaves room for food and treats on both sides. I would estimate about 4-6 cups of food total with two 1 liter nalgenes.
Nice pack except the buckles
This would be a 5-star pack because it's very well designed until you get to the buckles. There are 3 places to adjust the pack to fit your dog, and these loosen drastically with every use, causing the pack to slide around on the dog. I've tried replacing the buckles but have not been able to find ones that fit this pack. This means you have to sew, pin, or button your adjustments to make the pack fit your dog and keep them in place.
