I emailed PetLink about a week ago to tell them to take Sophie’s name off my profile as we believed she had died. She had been diagnosed with terminal cancer in October, 2018. In January this year, she jumped the fence and we looked for weeks in every way possible to find her. It was…

On February 12th, a young cat during his first snowy Canadian winter, wandered too far onto adjacent streets and got lost in the snowy landscape. He was found by a neighbor after 5 days, after my cat ran into her house when she left the screen door open.  He was more hungry than scared after…

Scootch-in Around the Neighborhood

Out cat, Scootch, went out for his usual quick outing out of the front of our house Friday at 2:15 p.m. I expected to call him back in after 30 minutes. He was not around when I went to get my kids from the bus stop, so I thought maybe he had come back inside…

My best advice is that, if you have a pet, get it microchipped with PetLink. Their chips save lives.

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.
