If your pet is ever lost, registering their microchip ensures your contact details are shown when the chip is scanned by a vet or animal shelter and you can be reunited with your pet.
PetLink makes the whole process simple for:
My dog lives for the outdoors! She’s got a comfy spot inside with all the toys she could want, but she insists on being outside—catching some sun, keeping an eye on the neighborhood, and saying hi to neighbors and their dogs. She's basically a celebrity in our community; everyone stops to greet her through our gate. With her long legs, she could easily jump the fence if she wanted to, which is why the PetLinkGPS and Activity monitor’s geofence feature is helpful. It gives me peace of mind knowing that if she ever gets curious or if a delivery person accidentally leaves the gate open, I’ll get an alert right away. Whether I'm on a work call or picking up the kids, I can keep track of her in real time. As a busy mom who adores her dog, I love knowing she can have her outdoor time without needing to be on a leash. She gets her freedom to roam, and I get peace of mind!
I can’t recommend the PetLink GPS collar enough! This is by far the best GPS tracking device for dogs and has been a game-changer for keeping tabs on my two pups - a 65lb Aussiedoodle named Josie and her 15lb little brother, Finn. The setup was super easy, the app is user-friendly, and the live view feature gives me real-time updates on their location with impressive accuracy. We have somewhat shorter fences around our property, which increases the chances of them escaping and also welcomes unwanted predators into the yard. So I especially love the geofence option, which lets me set a virtual boundary—if either of my pups ever crosses it, I get an instant alert. It gives me peace of mind knowing exactly where they are at all times. This tracker is much better than an AirTag since it’s designed specifically for pets, and the range/service is much more reliable.
I have a senior bulldog, Desi, who's a bit on the chubby side. Making sure he gets his daily exercise and hitting activity targets is all part of my plan to keep him healthy and help him reach his ideal weight. I’d do anything to keep him around longer and give him the happiest, healthiest life possible. The PetLink monitor and GPS app are a big help—not only can I track his location, but I can also monitor his activity levels and notice any changes right away. I really appreciate the tips the app shares too. It feels like I have extra support in my goal to keep Desi healthy.

Microchips are tiny devices that use RFID technology to store a unique ID number. Once the pet is chipped, vets and animal shelters can scan the chip to identify lost pets and link them to their owner's contact details.
Microchips are an essential lifetime identification method - a must-have for all responsible pet owners.
GPS trackers are devices that fit to the pet’s collar so you can track their location in real-time using GPS technology via an app on your phone. Some devices have activity monitors to help understand the pet's health and fitness levels.
GPS trackers are invaluable to know your dog’s location at all times when on a walk, or to have peace of mind if you leave them at home.
A QR tag fits on a pet's collar. If the pet is lost, any person who finds the pet can scan the QR code with their phone. The pet owner then receives a notification on their phone, putting the owner and pet finder in touch.
A QR Tag is a simple and invaluable safety net if your pet is ever lost, allowing members of the public to be able to scan the QR Tag and get in touch.
