Veterinary Services for Dogs and Cats in Bend, Oregon
Pawtown Veterinary Care is Bend’s locally owned small animal practice, founded by Dr. Erin Miller and Dr. Lauren Stayer with the goal of building long-term relationships with their patients rather than treating isolated problems. We offer comprehensive veterinary services for dogs and cats including wellness exams, diagnostics, dentistry, vaccinations, surgery, emergency and critical care, microchipping, and pharmacy — from puppies and kittens through senior and end of life care. Every recommendation is tailored to your specific pet, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
We are open Monday through Saturday, 8 am to 5 pm, and offer same-day appointments for urgent cases. Call us at 541-313-3607 or request an appointment online.

Wellness Exams
A yearly exam is the most important thing you can do for your pet’s long-term health. In one visit, we cover a complete physical evaluation, vaccine review, parasite screening, nutrition, and any changes in behavior or health you’ve noticed. Annual dog checkups and cat checkups also let us catch developing problems early — when they’re easier and less expensive to treat.
Diagnostics
Our in-house diagnostic capabilities include blood panels, urinalysis, and cytology for ear, skin, and mass testing — all processed in the clinic without sending samples out. When we need more specialized testing, we work with outside labs and get you results quickly. In-house digital x-rays are available same-day for injury evaluation, dental assessment, and internal screening.
Emergency Care
When something is wrong with your pet and it can’t wait, we prioritize same-day assessment during business hours. We handle both urgent care — conditions that need attention within hours but aren’t life-threatening — and emergency and critical care situations that require immediate intervention. We’re equipped with IV fluids, oxygen therapy, surgical capability, and in-house diagnostics to handle most crises that arrive during our hours.
Dentistry
Dental disease affects more than half of dogs and cats over five years old, and most never show obvious signs until the condition is advanced. We perform professional dental cleanings, treat periodontal disease, and perform extractions when necessary to relieve pain and prevent the systemic effects that untreated dental disease causes to the heart, kidneys, and liver. Dental assessments are part of every wellness exam.
Pharmacy
We keep a fully stocked in-clinic pharmacy covering most medications your pet may need, so you can pick up prescriptions the same day as your visit. For ongoing medications and refills, our online pharmacy delivers directly to your home, often at competitive prices with home delivery included.
Microchipping
Microchipping is a permanent, painless form of identification the size of a grain of rice, implanted under the skin in seconds. Unlike collar tags, a microchip can’t fall off or be removed. If your pet ever goes missing, any shelter or vet clinic that scans them will find your contact information immediately. We microchip dogs and cats at any age, and often do it alongside a wellness visit or during spay/neuter surgery.
Vaccinations
We tailor vaccination recommendations to your pet’s actual lifestyle — not a one-size-fits-all schedule. Bend’s outdoor environment brings specific exposure risks: rattlesnakes, ticks, wildlife contact, and trail hazards factor into which vaccines we prioritize and when. We cover core vaccines for dogs and cats, dog-specific boosters, and cat-specific vaccines, and we keep your records so you always know where you stand.
End of Life Care
When your pet reaches the end of their life, we’re here to help you navigate it with as much clarity and peace as possible. Dr. Miller and Dr. Stayer approach end of life care with the same relationship-based attention that defines every other part of our practice. We take time to answer your questions honestly, support your decision-making, and ensure your pet’s final experience is as comfortable and dignified as possible.
