Angell Animal Clinic Holds Teddy Bear Clinic
Participants can bring their stuffed teddy bears to get an examination by an Angell doctor on Aug. 12 starting at noon.
From MSPCA Animal Medical Center: Veterinarians at the MSPCA's Angell Animal Medical Center treat some 80,000 patients every year-from dogs and cats to rabbits, birds, ferrets and other four-leggeds-but they recognize that there's a huge and underserved population of patients who need tender loving care just as much: teddy bears.That's why Angell will hold its annual Teddy Bear Clinic<https://www.mspca.org/events/angell-teddy-bear-clinic/> this Saturday, Aug. 12 from 12pm to 2pm.
No appointments necessary: kids of all ages can bring their bears (or stuffed pals of any variety) for a free examination by an Angell doctor, who'll listen carefully to any concerns before treating these much loved patients. Fortunately, most teddy bears leave the clinic with only a band aid or a wayward limb wrapped in gauze (to their owners' relief). Dozens of kids and their parents are expected, with at least as many teddy bear patients.
