Webkinz Pet of the Month: Exclusive Items, Bonus Events & More!

Learn More About the "Pet of the Month" Webkinz Program

If you are lucky enough to have a Webkinz Pet of The Month you will see some nice rewards for it the entire month. I am really hoping that the polar bear gets picked at some point in the future; I'd love to get some special items for him!  The Pet of The Month program rewards people who have a specific pet; this changes every month and new ones are announce either on the first day of the new month or a few days before it starts. You can read the Webkinz Newspaper to learn more about the specific pet and a few hints about what the next months pet might be.

Is the Pet of The Month program fair to other users that don't have that specific pet? I don't see anything wrong with the program because there are still a lot of hourly and daily events to take advantage of. I know a few people that will go out and buy the Pet of The Month just to get the special items and features that Webkinz offers. Others will buy or collect pets but not activate the codes until that specific critter is the PoTM. So far the Pet of The Month event is only for full sized pets, not the Lil Kinz.

What does this mean for retail sales? First, it could cause retailers to stockpile pets or limit them to one per person to try and drive up the price. As far as online stores, I have seem them charging as much as $30.00 for a Pet of The Month and claiming that you "can't find them anywhere". Considering that most regular sized pets cost between $11.00 and $13.00, any website or store that tries to pull this trick will never see another penny of my money.

What are some of the special prizes that you can get for adopting a Pet of The Month? In addition to your usual welcoming gifts you get some very cool exclusive items; for the month of October if you adopted and activated a frog you could get things like Donut Plant Seeds. Seeing as how I have a huge garden, these would have made an excellent addition but I wasn't quick enough to get a frog!
