She Was Found!

My dear Rae-Rae flew out my front door on December 9th, which shocked me because she’s never been an outside cat since I got her in 2017.  It was very cold that night, too. I figured she froze in the cold or someone adopted her. I was perplexed and sad. I checked my email on…

Christmas Miracle

Toby got out of our RV the last week of October. We did everything we could to find him and lure him back to us: food, placing the litter box and clothes that had our smell on them outside, etc. We put it on all the social media that we could with his picture and…

My beloved kitty Sylvie had ran out the door the night of August 24th and was gone for 2 months and some weeks. I got a notification that my Sylvie had been found. She had traveled 12 miles from where she escaped; it was a 40 minute drive to pick her up! So glad I…

Home after 4 days on the Lam

Friday was found after 4 days of being in the lam. She found her way back into the garage and was holed up in a corner. She was hungry, thirsty, dusty and unbothered by the whole situation! While we didn’t need her microchip this time, it was a huge comfort knowing that we would be…

PetLink located my cat after she was missing for 2 years

I had a tiny kitten show up on my back porch.  I began feeding her and she eventually allowed me to start petting her.  I had her fixed at CatSnip and they implanted the PetLink chip.  She disappeared 2 years ago and I assumed the worst.  Last week, Affordable Vet Clinic called and said they…

Raja’s Journey Home

Raja went missing about six months ago. He was not prone to wandering, so it was very strange when our other cats came home after a few hours out abut he did not. It was a rainy day, and we figured he would come back later that day, but he did not. We searched the…

Safe and Sound

Our cat Enzo snuck out through an open window screen and we were terrified for him. Regardless of the outcome we knew we would be able to identify him with his microchip. Thankfully he showed up at home 2 days later, dehydrated, starving, but otherwise in good health. I am so thankful for PetLink and…

Benefits of Microchipping Your Pet 

Microchipping your pet has several benefits. Microchips are permanent – after they are implanted, your dog or cat will never need to have it removed or replaced. Microchips do not use any power source or connectivity, so they will always be able to be scanned under any conditions. Microchips are inexpensive and easy to implant into your pet by a veterinarian. The procedure is also swift and generally painless. 

Unfortunately, it is very common for a lost pet to be found without a name tag on their collar. This often leads to pets being placed in shelters, hoping their owner will find them. Unlike tags and collars, microchips cannot fall out, break, get lost, etc. No matter what your pet does or where it goes, the microchip will stay safely implanted under its skin. When a pet has a microchip, it can be scanned by a veterinarian or animal shelter, regardless of the condition the pet is in. Microchips are the quickest and easiest way to identify lost animals and return them to their owners.

What Happens When Your Pet Has Been Found & Reported 

When a PetLink chip is scanned in a found pet, the owner gets notified immediately. To get in touch as quickly as possible, the registered owner will receive, texts, phone calls, and emails from PetLink right away. Once PetLink gets connected with the pet owner, arrangements can be made to return the pet safely back to its family.

Giving You Peace of Mind

We understand how important pets are to their owners– many consider their animals as members of their family. Naturally, pet owners worry about their pet’s safety and well-being. Microchipping your pet is one of the easiest and most essential steps you can take to keep your animal safe. 

PetLink significantly reduces the risk of permanently losing a pet, providing our members with peace of mind knowing we will assist in bringing their lost pets home. We encourage you to read our microchip success stories, which highlight how microchipping not only alleviates owners’ worries but also provides comfort to pets. A microchip registered at PetLink ensures lost pets are quickly reunited with their families, avoiding prolonged stress in shelters and offering great relief for both pets and their owners.
