Give Your Dog a Job
Why Our Canine Companions Crave More Than a Walk

In Bend, it’s no secret – we love our dogs. Known as one of the most dog-friendly cities in the country, Bend has earned the title of “Dog Town USA.” Whether it’s a morning run along the river trail, a paddleboard cruise down the Deschutes, or lounging on the patio of your favorite brewery, you’ll find dogs happily by their humans’ sides, soaking up the Central Oregon lifestyle.

But beneath the surface of this canine paradise is a reality we sometimes forget: dogs need more than exercise and companionship — they need purpose. A job. Though there are some breeds that are happy with a few short walks or a couple of extended trips outdoors, almost every dog needs more to be happy and healthy.

Before dogs were curled up on couches, they were working alongside us. For centuries, dogs were bred for specific tasks — from herding livestock to retrieving game to guarding property. These instincts and drives are still alive and well in our modern dogs, even if they now live in townhomes or go to doggy daycare.

And that’s where mental stimulation comes in. This is the “more” most dogs need and want in their lives to stay healthy and content.

Top 10 Ways to Keep Your Pet Healthy in the High Desert - Follow These Tips to Keep Your Furry Family Members Happy and Well This Summer

When Dr. Brent Post, DVM, acquired High Desert Veterinary in Bend two years ago, he was excited to share the knowledge he had gained from his 15 years of experience as a veterinarian. “I just love working with animals,” he says. “I think they're endlessly fascinating.”

He also enjoys meeting and establishing relationships with pet parents, as well as educating them on keeping their pets healthy in the high desert. “Living in Bend means fresh air, big skies, and endless trails—but our high desert climate also brings unique challenges for pets,” says Dr. Post.

Top 10 Tips from High Desert Veterinary:
1. Dehydration & Water Access
Our dry climate means pets can dehydrate quickly—especially active dogs. Keep water available at all times, indoors and out. “In addition to water, chicken broth is also a great hydrator and contains electrolytes.”

The first sign of dehydration you might notice is lethargy, Dr. Post explains. “You can also check the gums to see if they’re tacky or sticky. Or, gently pinch the skin between your fingers and raise it. It should bounce back right away in a well-hydrated pet.

2. Diet & Weight Management
Obesity is a common and preventable issue. Feed your pet a balanced, portion-controlled diet based on their age, breed, and activity level.

“Ideally, dogs and cats shouldn't have a belly that's lower or at the same level as their chest,” he says. Additionally, you should be able to feel the hip bones and the spine easily.

3. Toxic Foods to Avoid
Keep pets away from grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, chocolate, xylitol (in sugar-free gum and peanut butter), caffeine, and alcohol. Even a small amount can be dangerous.

Evergreen Oculofacial Plastic Surgery Celebrates Their One Year Anniversary

Dr. Tara Goecks, founder of Evergreen OPS, cuts the ribbon at their ribbon cutting event with the Bend Chamber on April 30 to celebrate their one-year anniversary. As the only practice in Central Oregon to have UltraClear Laser® Resurfacing, Evergreen OPS featured live demonstrations of this newest technology at this event.

Dr. Goecks is a board-certified ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon. Oculoplastic surgery was a great combination of her three fields of interest – ophthalmology, plastic surgery and dermatology. “As a plastic surgeon, I can remove eyelid lesions and also do reconstructive work from skin cancers. I love being able to make a really big difference in people's lives.”

A Home on the Road
Recreational vehicles are a fun and comfortable way to explore new places

A competitive skater growing up, Ty Kelly traveled from event to event in a travel trailer. Today, he is the owner, along with his wife Jodie, of Beaver Coach Sales in Bend. Last year Beaver Coach Sales was named one of North America's top five Blue Ribbon RV dealerships.
“We've been in the top 50 for six or seven years and that was a big deal,” he says. “Being in the top five is the most coveted spot and it’s been a goal of ours for years.”
This designation is not only based on the number of units sold, but also on how a company treats its employees, its overall culture and mission, service training, and philanthropy. Beaver Coach Sales scores high on every single category.
Employees are highly valued and recognized for their hard work and customer service. In fact, they’ve had multiple family members and friends become part of the team after employees shared their enthusiasm for the atmosphere. The team also includes a handful of customers who later became employees due to their experiences at the dealership.
When it comes to service, there’s a highly qualified and certified service manager on board who can train and certify others. And, if a customer needs maintenance or repair, they are a one-stop shop.

Welcome to July and our "Explore" issue! Summer is upon us, and we hope you are all enjoying every single day!

A note from our publisher, Jane Rial:

Time to Explore
On a recent getaway to California, I was able to explore Joshua Tree National Park, something I’ve always wanted to do. Although our visit in the park was cut short due to high winds and a fire (!), it left me wanting to return when I could soak up more time in this peaceful place.
Living here in the High Desert, we have so many beautiful places to explore within minutes, or just a few hours away. Now that summer has finally arrived, it’s time to pack up the car or RV, jump on a bike, boat, SUP or inner tube and enjoy our next adventures. And if it all goes right, it will leave you wanting to do it all over again.
This summer, I hope you can find time to soak up the short season we have to play in the warm sun. Here’s to a fun and adventurous summer!
