Must Love Paws

Must Love Paws is a dog boarding and daycare facility in Bend, Oregon, located at 520 SE Bridgeford Blvd. Overnight guests stay in private suites and spend their days in a climate-controlled play area that covers more than 4,000 square feet, indoors and out. Boarding dogs are kenneled only at night, unless an owner prefers otherwise.

What a stay includes

Breakfast and dinner come with boarding, and lunch is available on request. Owners are asked to bring their dog's own food; if they don't, food is served at $1 per cup. Any seven-night stay includes a complimentary bath and blow out.

• Overnight boarding in private, climate-controlled suites
• Daycare with indoor and outdoor play space
• Grooming, including bath and blow out service
• Meals served daily, with special diets accommodated
• 10% multi-dog discount

How the days run

The play area pairs indoor room with outdoor space, so dogs get time in both. Staff are trained in group dog behavior and humane management techniques, which matters at a place built around all-day play rather than long stretches in a run. Dogs who do better with quieter time can be kenneled on their owner's schedule instead.
