Ella McWoof here! With your help, I’ve sniffed out some important information about the X-citing new project, Webkinz X!
Now, in my EXCLUSIVE SCOOP, here’s more information straight from the TOP SECRET documents!
Along with a new look and a new way to play, like the Pet Care Heart, Family Score, or Pet Requests, Webkinz X will also include a new Dock with an easier way to organize your items!
Here’s a look at what your Dock will look like with the NEW Webkinz!
CURRENT DOCK
NEW DOCK
We have removed the dropdown menu that was used before for sorting and added tabs instead. Within each of these tabs your items will now be grouped together first by item type, and then alphabetically within those types.
Here is exactly how your new Dock of items will be grouped and organized:
- AZ: All
- Special: Gift Boxes, Coins, Tokens, Coupons
- Food: Food, Garden Seeds
- Clothing: Helmets, Hats, Glasses, Shirts, Pants, Skirts, Dresses, Shoes, Belts
- Furniture: Furniture
- Decorations: Wallpapers, Floors, Decoration, Presentable, Carpets, In-Room Games, Webkinz Studio Characters, Webkinz Studio Backgrounds
We have also included a tab for Pet Actions; however at launch Pet Actions won’t be available right away. These will be added back into the Dock in one of our updates coming soon.
Once we have added Pet Actions back to the new Dock, we will also work on a search function for a future update, to help you better locate your items.
Some of the other updates to the new Dock include:
- No need to “Get Item From Storage”; items will now load dynamically on demand
- No Dock color customization or pet portrait background
- KinzCash and eStore Points have been moved to the top center of the screen
- KinzTime, Cell Phone, Message Center and KinzPost have all been moved to the top right corner of the screen
- HELP button has been moved to the new Options menu
We have also removed the Map of Kinzville items from the Dock and moved them to their own separate Dock which only appears when you visit the map. At launch, this separate Map Stuff Dock won’t allow you to sell your map decorations back to the WShop.
Stay tuned to my column on Wednesday, July 1st and I’ll reveal MORE about the exciting secret project, Webkinz X!

I gotta stop looking the more I do the more unhappy I’m becoming. :(
I’m sorry to say but I’m not a big fan so far. I’ll give it a try though before I say whether I like it or not.
It look like the ap not very excited more worried and seriously bummed. I use my actions all the time. I don’t think you should change this until you’re actually ready. Please consider waiting til you are able to do it WITH are pet actions. Please.
I’m LOVING all the new updates! They’re looking fabulous!!
oats34WK You invited me to a party PLEASE BE THERE !!! It’s hard on my husbands tablet I get thrown out a LOT !
WHAT items WILL the PETS ASK FOR ??? SHOW US PLEASE I don’t know and during challenges I want to get done not deal with a hard to PLEASE PET !!!
OK I am Deluxe BLUE DOCK items get meshed WITH THE SAME COLOR AND DISAPEAR !!! Off white or a soft YELLOW work better. MAP of KINZVILLE IS WAY TOO SMALL I CAN’T SEE IT HARDLY :( :( What is the LAST SYMBOL the YELLOW Z TYPE in the RED CIRCLE ??
It is the button for Pet Actions.
I love that now your dock has tabs! That is so much easier. I don’t like how there is no color personalization but it’s not that terrible. I also love how I don’t have to get items from storage. That’s always such a hassle because I have tons of items. Problem solved! I can’t wait for Webkinz X! #Xcited
Pet background customization should stay! It is a deluxe perk that we pay for!
Ella, your detective work resulted in lots of chatting amongst my webkinz pets. They like the new dock, yet, they are hoping the scroll bar remains. Plus, they would welcome a short cut to the Webkinz Stadium with a notification for all to see when a competition begins. They feel more webkinz pets would participate if a reminder was sent all around “Webkinz World”.
