We offer a variety of stuffed animal-related health services

We do a variety of stuffed animal repairs, including restuffing sagging stuffies, stitching up torn seams, replacing eyes, fixing noses, deep cleaning, and more.

We have been doing stuffed animal repair in Austin, TX for over a decade. From dog-maulings to fur burns from lightbulbs, there isn’t much we haven’t seen!

In addition to repairing stuffies, we also do elective surgeries (holiday reassignment surgery, rhinoplasty, etc) and custom costumes and accessories for stuffed animals (Halloween costumes, custom clothing, etc)!

We can discuss your stuffed animal’s repair needs in our Telemedicine Consultation.

How much does it cost?

All of our stuffed animal repair services begin with a Telemedicine Consultation ($5) so we can evaluate the situation. After the consultation, we will formulate a plan of action and will send you an estimate (time/cost/scheduling) along with our sometimes-amusing medical notes and observations within 24 hours after the appointment.

Repairs generally cost $25/hr, and typical surgeries can last anywhere from one to four or even eight hours! We will get a better idea of your SA’s needs during our Telemedicine Consultation so you can make an informed decision regarding you stuffed animal’s care. Repairing stuffies is a specialized field, and we take great care to make sure our work is top quality- and also a fun experience!

The cost of the Telemedicine Consultation ($10) will be applied toward the cost of any procedure we perform.

Do you accept stuffies from out-of-town (not Austin)?

Yes! For out of town patients, you are responsible for shipping your stuffy to us. Cost of returning the patient to you will be added to the cost of any procedure. We can discuss the method of transportation you feel most comfortable with, as we know shipping your stuffed companion can be stressful.

Get Started

Step One: Telemedicine Appointment

Before we can do any repairs on injured stuffed animals or perform any elective procedures on consenting stuffies, we need to evaluate their needs. A quick telemedicine appointment will allow us to diagnose the situation and prepare a plan of action (what materials need to be obtained, how much time such an injury will require to complete, when we will be able to fit in a surgery or procedure, etc).

The cost of the Telemedicine Consultation ($10) will be applied toward any procedure we perform.
