When you go to create a pet, it says: "The following characters are allowed when naming your new pet: alphanumeric characters (abc123), periods(.), spaces( ), dashes(-), and underscores (_)!"
And yet when I try to make a pet with a dash in it, I get: "Oh No! Your new pet name must be alphanumeric! You are not allowed any special characters except for the underscore(_)"
I've tried it on different pets just to see if it was a weird fluke with the species I wanted, and... nope. I know the name I want is free as well. Are we not allowed to make names with special characters anymore, or is this a bug? Thank you!

It was disabled temporarily because of a related glitch; I'll see if I can find the post where explained it better than I can haha (but the important part is it's supposed to be temporary) [edit] The post is here
