Join us Thursday June 18, 2026 from 6 \u2013 8 p.m. for our Beary Special Teddy Bear Clinic. Children can bring their favorite bear, stuffy or doll that is in need of a little TLC. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

The first thing you\u2019ll do when you arrive is to check in your beary special friend and let us know the reason for your visit. \u00a0(Yes, everything that happens during the visit will be documented in your chart!) While you wait in our gorgeous waiting room, you enjoy snacks from Leo’s Market and Eatery<\/a> and fun activities that we\u2019ll have waiting for you to tackle! \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>

Once you\u2019re called back, your beary special friend will be seen by the nurse.  Together, we\u2019ll get their height, weight, and temperature checked \u2014 we will need your help for this! One of our nurses will then assess your friend and take care of getting vitals and needed vaccinations.  Then, the full work-up happens. Does your special friend struggle with asthma and need a breathing treatment?  Great! Is there a cast needed on that tail? We\u2019ll take care of it!  Is further bloodwork needed to make an assessment? You\u2019re in the right place \u2014 our lab is right around the corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Once your beary special friend is ready to go home and recover, we\u2019ll give you supplies to keep them healthy at home.  We can\u2019t wait to take care of your special friends, and we are so glad that you are bringing them in!<\/p>\n<\/div>
