Earlier this summer we announced that we would be changing our retirement program. Instead of retiring a pet each week, we will be retiring a pet each month. Plus, players who have adopted the retired pet on their account can play the Counting Sailboats game EVERY Sunday of the month! Retired pet owners will also receive a special gift box on the last Sunday of the month that’s filled with goodies.

We are pleased to announce that the Webkinz Plush Panda is retiring in September! The Panda has been a very popular pet and was originally released back in 2006! It is officially retiring this month along with the Ming Vase Panda Fridge and Bamboo Pandaloni, the Panda’s adoption gifts:

Webkinz Panda owners can play the Counting Sailboats game EVERY Sunday this month and try to win a rare piece of clothing that can ONLY be won by playing the game. You can access the game from Today’s Activities:

Panda owners can also pick up a special gift box from Today’s Activities on Sunday September 28th. Want to know what’s inside? We’re going to reveal what’s in the gift box RIGHT HERE on Webkinz Newz Monday, September 8th!

The Webkinz Plush Panda has been a very popular pet so I’m sure there will be many people participating in the retirement activities throughout the month. Congratulations Panda owners… your pet is now a collector’s item!
