Hello there, it’s me again—Dr. Quack! I’m so privileged to once again be your Mayor of Kinzville, and I’m pleased to tell you about all the new and exciting things we have planned in Webkinz Classic for the next few weeks! Let’s have a look, shall we?

Check out the latest fun fashions for your pet and look for the two new clothing recipes that can be created using items from this new theme! To make room for the new stock, PJ Collie has retired the 2020 Summer Clothing Line.

Then from February 7th until February 14th, collect chocolates from Cinnamon in the park, and don’t forget to also look for the exclusive Banana Toffee Chocolate here on Webkinz Newz!

REMEMBER: Flash has now been blocked in all web browsers! To continue playing Webkinz Classic, you’ll need to download the desktop app directly from the Webkinz homepage, or get the mobile app from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
Well now, that sounds like lots of fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements, including when you’ll see my NEW Caring Clinic at the Clubhouse!
Take care, Kinzville!
So many great activities I’m looking forward to. These prizes are the best! It will be a busy month but I will make sure to get them all.
Hey Sally webkinz! I need some help. I purchased 33,000 ganz estore points on Christmas day. It was suppose to come with a chocolate tree dispenser, but I never received one. I’m not sure why this happened, but I would love your help figuring this out. Thank you so much!
You’ll need to get in touch with ganzestorecs@ganz.com so they can investigate :)
Wow, all the new items look awesome – especially that hot air ballon and the new seed tree! I’ll agree with everyone else and say thank you for windowed mode, and also that a mute feature would be great!
Since Webkinz is an app now, you should be able to mute the app by going to your volume mixer on your computer while the app is open and turning the Webkinz app sound to zero.
Thank you so much for being able to use the app out of full screen mode. It really helps being able to see the battery status on my laptop so I can plug it in before I run out of battery! I do have what I hope is a simple request. I have nine pets and that does not trigger the arrows to scroll between the pets when trying to choose a new pet to play with. Full screen (which I hate, thanks again for the update) only shows six pets and the window mode shows 5 1/2. I can move to the right using the mouse and gently pulling the bar, but it doesn’t work well and is, frankly, a real pain. Can you make the arrows appear for scrolling through pets when you have less than a zillion pets? Do you know what I mean? The arrows make it much simpler to get the next pet who needs to play. (And yes, I know that I can change pets by clicking on them in the room, but they don’t all live in the same room. That always ends up stranding someone somewhere.) Thank you for reading this.
Thank you for giving us the Windowed Mode – I appreciate it very much.
So happy for Windowed Mode! Thank you! And hooray, Bathtub Battles is one of my favorite games. Looking forward to the events.
I love the new prizes on the Vacation Wheel! Too bad I’m not deluxe!
Yeah, me too.
Hi, I was using the browser app on my computer and when I was heading into the employment office it didn’t work, so I tried to go to the house but then everything was just the normal blue of Webkinz, what do I do?
Are you referring to the Desktop App? Please uninstall, download a fresh copy from Webkinz.com and reinstall. If you are referring to using Chrome or Firefox, those methods are no longer supported.
I don’t love Bathtub Battles (or most of the other tournament arena games). However, I do love that tub. Looks like I will be attempting that challenge. Hope it isn’t too hard. Other than that I am looking forward to all the upcoming events. Nice to have you back as mayor, Dr. Quack.
Does anyone else have issues when they are at “home” with the pet the screen flickers up and down. I think that is why in the school strength section the button to lift sticks (yah that is next to impossible on last 2 levels of school).
