Wow! What a fantastic response to our pet design contest! We had over 3,000 entries and as always it was tricky narrowing the list down. Because it was so difficult to choose, in honor of Webkinz’ 15th anniversary this year, we decided to select 15 finalists!
Now we want to hear what you think! The winning pet will be sold in Ganz eStore starting on Webkinz Day, April 29, 2020.
As always, we look at concepts that we believe would be a great fit for Webkinz World. We are not judging the entries based on artistic talent, but on ideas that we think would make great pets. Please keep that in mind when you make your selection. Whichever pet we select, the Webkinz art department will work their magic to make it fit the Webkinz style.
While the final decision is up to the Webkinz creative department, we will take your input in consideration when making our final choice. Check out the 15 finalists and let us know in the comments below which one is YOUR favorite.

Hey if anyone has an extra tapestry or coat of arms from the deluxe wheel of wishes, I would be forever in your debt if you could send me one! I’ve been trying for a while and can never seem to land on either… :( Thanks.
My favourite is the Golden Peacock, followed by the stained glass turtle.
I’m so honored to be chosen for my Icelandic Horse! They are very beautiful and spend much of their lives in the wild to meet other Icelandic Horses before the yearly round ups where they live on ranches for part of the year with people. Such a fun animal to represent the spirit of Webkinz World!
Either the bubble googles or the cactus cat!
I’ll take one of each!
The cactus cat and the patched giraffe are both so cute!
I love the Moonberry Dragon.
I love the Moonberry Dragon and the Golden Peacock
The tanuki and the cactus cat are adorable!!! I can’t pick a favorite :P
I was hoping for a spider!!!
There were several spiders submitted that I thought were fantastic!
Yes, me too! I really hope that there is a realistic spider somewhere in WW future. I want to make a Charlotte’s Web room, and I am missing a main character. :)
I would love a spider sometime in the future too. There were some great spider designs.
