The Oxford Hotel – A Dog’s Best Friend in Bend, Oregon

Posted By Suzanne Carvlin on April 6, 2011

Ever wonder where you and your furry dog buddy can go on vacation and stay in a chic hotel with all of the creature comforts?

Wonder no more!  The Oxford Hotel in downtown Bend, Oregon not only has a pet-friendly floor; they also provide a host of amenities that would make any dog feel right at home.

Our dogs would love a stay at The Oxford Hotel.  They are a bit larger now (they are a lean, mean 80 lbs. each), but they would no longer chew on their dog beds.

Upon check in at The Oxford, your pooch will be treated with: A pet bed to fit your furry companion, travel dog bowls that you can use (one you can even keep!), pet salve to fend against the dry climate, organic dog biscuits baked in-house by their chef and a map of dog-friendly trails and parks.

Want to hit the trails but can’t find your leash? You can make use of The Oxford’s loaner leashes and collars made by the local company, Tazlab.

Safety dog collars by Tazlab are available for your use as a guest of The Oxford in Downtown Bend, Oregon.  TazLab is a local Bend, Oregon company that makes a variety of fun, safe products for your pet.

Tazlab’s unique dog collar stretches when you don’t have a leash attached to it.  That way, your dog won’t be in any danger if its collar becomes snared on a nefarious stray stick or by another dog’s chompers while romping around at Bend’s local dog park.

Tazlab's safety stretch dog collar expands and even breaks away to release your dog if its collar becomes stuck on any object.

Tazlab's dog leashes connect to their safety collar and keep the collar from expanding so your dog will stay at your side on a walk.

Tazlab also provides dog bowls to The Oxford. Tazlab’s patented silicone bowl is called the Aqua-Fur. (cute.) Made from FDA approved food grade silicone, the Aqua-Fur does not contain BPEs, nor have any areas where bacteria can take refuge.

Due to the unique nature of the silicone, you can fold the bowl into your backpack and hit the trails with your pooch, or you can bake a dog-cake in the bowl in your hotel kitchenette! And then wash the bowl in the dishwasher! That is so insanely cool.
