Completed Construction

This post first announced the opening of our clinic once construction was finished. The visit details further down were updated in November 2026.

At Pawtown Veterinary Care, we are so excited to be able to open our doors for business. It has been an amazing adventure to get our space completed. We started in the summer of 2020 with the idea to open our own small animal veterinary clinic in Bend. That quickly led to a search for appropriate properties (zoned by the city and landlord approved).  Thanks to Jay and Grant at Compass Commercial for their time and patience during our search!  We feel lucky to have found our building at the Shops at Boyd Acres.  

We then went through the design process and had amazing help from many people we met along the way. It all started with Patterson and their design team helping us create the initial layout, then Stemach Architects stepped in to ensure we had the best layout and were up to code and finally Stilson builders performed the construction.  

When we first took over the building, there were four walls with windows and doors, a roof and a gravel floor. So it has been exciting to see the transition we have made to a functioning veterinary clinic! Our goal along the way has been to create a space that feels warm, welcome, and safe to all that enter it. We hope you and your dogs and cats come to see us soon!

Visiting Our Clinic at the Shops at Boyd Acres

Today, Pawtown Veterinary Care is a small animal practice for dogs and cats, owned by veterinarians Dr. Erin Miller and Dr. Lauren Stayer. The clinic we built is on Lancaster Street in the Shops at Boyd Acres in Bend, and we see patients Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. We are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Along with Bend, we care for pets from nearby communities including Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver, La Pine, and Prineville, and you can meet our veterinarians and care team on our About Us page.

If you are bringing a pet in for the first time, filling out our new client form before the visit saves time at check-in. Many owners start with a comprehensive exam, which gives our veterinarians a baseline for your pet’s health and a chance to talk through vaccinations, parasite prevention, and dental care. When something comes up between checkups, we also offer same-day appointments and urgent care during business hours. Outside those hours, or if your pet needs overnight care, an emergency hospital is the right place to go. If you have not visited our Boyd Acres location yet, we would love to meet you and your pet. You can contact us or request an appointment online anytime.
