Maverick, My Dusky Husky

I have a beautiful Husky, Maverick, the color of black smoke. She had never gotten out of her pen before but, not long ago, she got out into the back yard and jumped the fence. While I was trying to find where she was, a chaotic experience, she had been picked up by animal control….

Brittney’s Home!

We were able to pick up Brittney from the Houston BARC foundation on January 27th 2012. Unfortunately, she had been there since the 22nd but we were told they did not find the chip until the 26th. She was in terrible condition, very emaciated from being out on the streets, but she is under the…

Iris has slipped away quite a few times. She did it last year on New Year’s Eve and was gone a couple of weeks. The people who’d found her had put a sign outside their house but they lived quite a ways away from us. One of their kids suggested going to a vet and…

Sweet Old Smokey

Smokey is a dog that belonged to my father. When my father passed away three years ago, aged 94, he asked me to take care of Smokey. I’ve known him all his life. Spirited and sweet, Smokey’s an old dog himself now. He has trouble walking but he has no trouble running! He has always…

First Time Lucky, Second Time Chipped

Poor Lucky got out and next, he got bumped by a car! He was sore for a couple of days. He’s bound to jump the fence if we’re not around to take him for a walk. At Thanksgiving there’s a town parade and the noises of sirens and gunfire must have set him off. While…

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.
