INSIDER TIPS
In 2012, Dog Fancy magazine named Bend the nation’s dog-friendliest city. We aren’t surprised. With seven off-leash dog parks, a plethora of romping grounds in the Deschutes National Forest, and the pooch-centric Wanoga and Edison Sno-Parks, there are plenty of places for Fido to frolic. Take a stroll through Downtown Bend and sip from conveniently-placed water dishes en route to a restaurant with pet-friendly patio dining. There are also more than a handful of pet loving resorts, hotels, and vacation rentals around Bend to welcome your pet with chewy bones. Bend is famous for our pet-loving events such as the annual 4th of July Pet Parade, the Ruff Run every August, and wiener dog racing during Bend’s Oktoberfest. Find more at visitbend.com/fido >>
