To make room for the new stock, PJ Collie has retired the 2020 Summer Clothing Line.

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!
Love the windowed mode! But might I suggest a “remember me” option upon login? This way login information doesn’t have to be typed in each time the game is opened.
Thank you for adding windowed mode, it helps me a lot to be able to see my taskbar at all times. I now have a kind of annoying scroll bar on the right hand side that cuts into the view of the screen in the app but it’s still better than being forced to be in full screen.
That will probably resolve once you quit and relaunch the app
I like that we have the option to select the ‘windowed’ version. Thank you for your response to our suggestions.
Somehow I didn’t realize Dr. Quack won! What was his campaign promise again?
Where is doctor quack’s office? He is supposed to have an office.
Can Sally please tell me when this will be implemented?
Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz :)
Window Mode question. We all thought playing in Window Mode would give us the option of having split screens in order to have two Webkinz accounts open. I play on a MAC but can’t figure out to have split screens.
The Desktop App does not support having more than one instance running. You cannot play two accounts simultaneously on one computer.
Hi Dr. Quack! Good to see you again as mayor! So many fun events to look forward to!
Please change the Tween Theme to something else soon. I love the valentines items they’re so cute
A general volume button would be really helpful. Parts of Webkinz World (PJ’s, Quizzy, Wish Machine) are really loud, and I would like to turn off or at least turn down the volume.
I am having significantly more trouble with the strength class since switching from Flash to the desktop. The “lift” button appears to be less responsive and does not correctly register each click.
I have also been having this problem
Such fun stuff coming up! But yes, there is something wrong with the strength class in the app. It just locks up and was super hard already as my pages are on 8 and 9 levels so I just quit doing it for now :)
Same! I was thinking that my mouse was going bad, glad its just a glitch. hope it gets fixed soon
Wish they’d replace that class!
I hope they can and will fix this! The Charm Forest seems to be working a lot better lately, for which I’m very grateful since I have a renewed interest in it.
