Automatic Registration with PetLink
What type of facility are you?
Get Every Pet Registered with PetLink Automatically
Implanting a microchip is only the first step in providing microchip protection to pets. The second, most crucial step is registering microchipped pets in PetLink.net. Out of 400 microchipped pets, only 95 are registered by their owners after the initial implantation. Without registration, reuniting lost pets with their families is made more difficult and in the worst cases, impossible. PetLink is the industry leader for automated registrations. The PetLink team has found that shelters and rescues who use automatic registration help to reunite lost pets with their owners faster and more efficiently.
How can shelters start automating their registrations?
To integrate with PetLink, all shelters and rescues are required to create an Animal Professional Account in PetLink.net. If you are not registered, you can click the link here to get started. Here are recommendations for contact information while registering your organization:
- The first and last name should be the shelter manager’s name
- The email listed should be a general email that multiple staff check on (ex. info@petlinkshelter.com)
A member of the PetLink team will review and confirm your account within 2 business days. You will then receive a confirmation email from PetLink. From:
“We adopt out, reunite pets with their owners, and transfer approximately 4,100 pets per year. We need the benefit of having our software integrate with our PetLink Animal Professional account. It eases the burden of additional paperwork, and our employees can rest assured that all our adopted pets are properly enrolled in PetLink.”

“SUPER glad that the microchips are automatically registered now. This makes it so much easier for everyone (including the pets, they’re more likely to be registered this way)!”

PetLink’s Integration Improves Accuracy and Pet Reunification
A benefit of the PetLink automated registrations is helping vets, shelters, and rescues correct data entry errors. During registration uploads, we discover invalid chip numbers that have been entered into a pet’s record. Sometimes there are too few numbers, too many numbers, or transposed numbers which make the microchip number invalid. PetLink reported 37,614 invalid chip numbers in 2022, around 11% of all the microchips submitted via client integrations.
Automatic uploads catch these errors and notify the PetLink team. PetLink then sends ‘registration result’ emails to animal professionals after each data capture. These emails identify successful registrations, errors, pets that are already registered, and pets currently reported as lost, keeping your records as accurate as possible.
A scenario on why catching errors is Important:
Bella is implanted with a 15-digit microchip number, but someone accidentally records it as a 14-digit number. Later, if Bella is missing and found, a microchip scanner will reveal that her microchip number has 15 digits. If Bella’s records are searched with the 15-digit number that was scanned, her owner’s information will not be found because Bella’s record lists a 14-digit microchip number. In this case, Bella will not be reunited with her family.
When you integrate with PetLink, this scenario will not become a reality for your pet owners.
To summarize, here’s what you get when you integrate with PetLink:
- Automatic registration for all your microchipped pets.
- Save your organization money, resources, and you staff’s time.
- A faster, more efficient way of reuniting lost pets with their owners.
- Catch and correct data entry errors for mass uploads of microchipped pets.
