Announcing a new Pet Design Contest – and this time the pet will be up to you! Will it be a dog, a bird, a dragon, a dust bunny??? We cannot wait to see what you come up with!

This year – we are letting your imagination run free. You can design whatever type of animal you want. You can use our basic template below if you want, as a guideline. And if you are looking for some different body types, feel free to use the templates we included with our Design a Halloween Pet contest or make your own!

Yeah, @Pokekinz, that’s weird!!! I have 3 questions. First, my friend MyLittlePony submitted her images today, will they still count for the contest? The contest ended yesterday, but will they be considered? Thanks!!! Next question is regarding the GANZ Parent Club, when I click on “Learn and Earn” at the bottom of a page, I get sent to page 404 not found, please fix this!!! Last question, will the winner get the Sheltie and everything you would get if you bought 1 year membership? (Points, new pet, etc?) Thanks for answering, we are blessed for all that you do for us, GANZ. Thanks and have a wonderful evening, ~PrettyPikachu~ (P.S I love the Baby Bunny and Baby Zebra, they are so cute!!!) <3
Uh, @GANZ? Can you please answer my GANZ Parent Club Question? I’m not trying to be rude, and I’m sorry to run off topic, but I would love an answer from ya guys :) Thanks, and have a very happy February!!! ~Your Furry Friend, Pika~
