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…

While The Folks Are Away

Teldra escaped on New Year’s Eve while we were on vacation. She got out through a dog door in a friend’s house. The yard was fully enclosed with a fence but she must have got under it. PetLink called to say she had got away and could be picked up close by. She wasn’t even…

Rapid Reunion

We lost our Retriever, Ruby, for just a moment. She wandered off when we were at our other property. Just five minutes later we heard from PetLink that she was safe at the Sheriff’s Department and picked her up.

Chipped In The Nick Of Time

Our Miniature Schnauzer, Maximus had gotten out of our yard and a neighbor found him in an alleyway between some houses, soaking wet, at 9:30 in the morning. We moved here in July, not long ago, so they didn’t realize Maximus was our dog. They called the number on his PetLink tag and ended up…

Helpful Posters

Cadence was returned to us by a helpful neighbor who saw our poster printed from the ‘Lost Pet Poster’ function on the PetLink website. The poster was very easy to print, so we were able to produce many copies in a short period of time. I was thankful to be out searching for my dog…

Skittish Dog

Here in Oklahoma, they engage in fireworks for the New Year, but while we were visiting, our dog, Bandit, who is frightened of loud noises, got disoriented and ran away.

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.
