Today i logged in the beta, and no pets for me, my journal was empty, with zero pets.
I also create 2 new chars and none of them received any blizzard store pet.

I know it is beta and it is bugged, i just to wanna know if someone got the same problem.

Edit. i only lost with the gwenmord my main collector, my alt that have about 15 pets shows there perfectly. should I report it as bug?

They won't receive any single account based pets as the beta account is considered a different account.

The other issue is quite common, you pets aren't missing it's just they are in the old pet tab not the new journal.
Any new ones you learn will be account wide, and if you re-copy you pet character over they should unlock after you log in on that character.

This affect any character copied over before pet battles were added in.

At the moment though they have just activated account wide mounts, so it's all a little unstable.
I'd wait till the bugs with account wide mounts settle day before worrying.
You can't access pet battling yet, so no terrible rush just yet.

thanks your answer helped a lot :D

i did as you said and re- copy my character and now i have them again :D
I know it was not a big issue since there is no battle, but i feel kind of naked without any pet around me.

An odd thing (for me) is that I still have all my pets despite them not being listed in my pet journal anymore. If I do a /use [pet name], they'll still be summoned like normal.

This works for pets that never were in your pet journal, too, so long as you learned the spell.
"Fishy" doesn't have a pet journal entry, for example, but I can still summon him.
