Teddy &
Stuffed Animal Repairs & Custom Restoration
Do you have a well loved teddy bear or stuffed animal from your childhood that you would like restored to its former self? Do you want them cleaned up, restitched, restuffed, an eye or nose replaced because it is missing one? Or does he need fur, new arm or leg joints, or a music box?
Or has your bear or stuffed animal met the new dog in the house and now he is missing a limb, or his face or body was mauled?
Are you a collector, and your bear needs cleaned, some stuffing
added or needs some general repair work?
Just give me a call or
write me, I would be glad to help!
Our patients range in age present day to 100+ years old. We take care of each and every one of them like they are one of our own.
I have worked on Steiff, Merrythought, Hermann, Gund, Ideal, Ty,
Boyd's Bears, to name a few...and all sorts of other bears from all over the world.
I am offering a new service for my
customers. You can now order Gift Certificates that go
towards any surgery for your patient or a loved ones patient. I will be
offering this service year round for any birthday, anniversary, holiday or
special occasion. Just click on the link below and you will be directed to
a secure ordering page.
Dr. Hanna provides Evaluation & Research (whether
the patient is here or you send in photos via email) which
includes a written estimate for your review.
You can submit the admitting form by clicking on it on the left hand side of the
page and submit the estimate payment by accessing it
through Hanna's Store. The estimate
fee for this is $30.
Please also email or mail photos from the front and back, as well as close-ups
of the patient.
Once the written estimate is approved the $30 is applied towards the
total and a 50% deposit
of the total invoice is required at the time of the scheduled surgery. The
balance is
due a week prior to the actual surgery date and prior to the
discharge from the hospital.
If the estimate is not approved the $30 fee is non-refundable. If the
patient is here we
will be charging a return shipping charge. We
have flat fees for most of our services, and we charge for materials for repair
plus return shipping. Our
rates are competitive and range from $65 up to $1200 depending on the type of
surgery and the procedure involved. In order to get a price quote
please submit all the information via email and Dr. Hanna will provide you with
an estimate.
NOTE: The teddy hospital outpatient day surgery beds
are now booking for August/September 2010.
Although we try to help every stuffed animal in need, we do not specialize in "Real Fur" covered animals made from Mink or Fox, Shearling,
Alpaca, or sheepskin etc. or partially covered furred animals such as what we call "pajama bears"
otherwise known as Thermal Bears by Eden Toys where they have pajama fabric as
the body and fur paws and fur heads. If you are not sure what your bear is
made out of, please email Dr. Hanna and she will help.
Dr. Hanna's Policy about abandoned goods:
A very small number of people have sent her their teddy bears to be restored but
failed to respond to any communication or pay for work carried out and never
reclaimed their bears. She will therefore deem any bear, or other toy under
these circumstances to have been abandoned 10 WEEKS after the first request for
payment, when we reserve the right to claim the bear as our property.
Dr. Hanna has an "adoption" page she will be posting on her site in 2010 for
these special bears. We really don't like the thought of doing this and it
would only be as a very last resort when all else had failed.
Below is Duck Bear from Richardson, Texas. He is my "web mascot"!
He is loving his restored look and is smiling again! He is only 6 inches
tall.
He is a very sweet bear with a big heart!
