Nessa

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…

Good Samaritan is my hero

I work at a 24 hour veterinary emergency hospital and 15 minutes before the end of my shift, my pet was identified through his microchip as the current Good Sam/HBC drop off. As terribly confusing as this event was I was ultimately reunited with my baby within 15 minutes of his arrival. He was literally…

Peace of Mind!

Piper jumped out of the car window!  My husband didn’t even realize it had happened.  The car behind him started honking, he pulled over, and the gal let him know.  He had only gone about a block so he rushed back and she was nowhere to be found.  Fortunately, there was a couple a few…

My Long Lost Friend

I adopted Kellogg in Texas around 2008. He was with me for four happy years. When an unexpected move to Oregon occurred, I brought him with me. Unfortunately, I was unable to keep him where I was living. I re-homed him with a family friend 3 hours away. As time went on, my family friend…

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.
