Dr. Quack's Clinic[]

Ever since 2005, players have been given the opportunity to interact with Dr. Quack in his clinic. He listened to your pet's heart, checked their reflexes, and/or looked in their mouth or ears. He also warned players of their caretaking habits, deciphering the wrong from right. If your Webkinz was sick, Dr. Quack told you how to help, and gave you medicine to make your pet feel better.

Biography[]

Founding of the Clinic[]

For a school project, Roberta Rabbit wrote a report on the history of Dr. Quack's Clinic.^[5] The information on the founding of the clinic is as follows:

After Dr. Quincy Quack graduated medical school, he decided to move to Kinzville after discovering there were no doctors in the area and that pets were traveling to the Big City for medical care. He soon made his way to Kinzville and began looking for a place to set up his new clinic. At first, he had trouble finding the perfect spot, but eventually came upon an available lot nearby the KinzPost Office and Adoption Center.

Detailed information about the founding of the clinic can be read in the full article.
