Together Again: 20 Minutes Later…

20 Minutes Later…

I am so thrilled with the PetLink service that reunited me with my Jack Russell named Holley. The yard-keepers ended up leaving the gate open and before you know it my dog took off running down the street. A police officer picked her up and took her to the vet to get scanned. Within 20…

Brotherly Love

I was so happy to hear from you PetLink ! We were out to dinner at a family get-together and didn’t know our dogs were gone. Olliver and Dekota are Chihuahuas, a brother and sister, and have always been running around our backyard. When we left they were outside playing and laying down. It was…

Like Father, Like Pup

Toby was outside and snuck out under the fence. A nice young girl found him a few weeks later and brought him to her vet. The vet scanned him and we received a call from PetLink shortly after. Toby belongs to my eight-year old, and he was overjoyed to have him back. The young girl…

Together Again: Cooper – A Dog With A Job

Cooper – A Dog With A Job

Cooper is a professional dog trained in Michigan to detect bed bugs which are a growing problem. His training makes him an expensive dog so, when he went missing, I was worried. I put Cooper on his leash before I left for work. During the day my daughter was at home but couldn’t hear Cooper…

Pepper’s Perils

My brother was out walking my Foxhound, Pepper. He took her off the leash so she could ford a short stream and she must have seen a deer and shot off. She got through a gap in a fence there, ran up a hill and got into some nettles up a steep embankment making it…

Thank You Sacramento Animal Hospital!

After a long, trying day and night by himself, Taz , our Rottweiler, was rescued by Melissa at the Sacramento Animal Hospital on Tuesday. He had to be bribed, but they were able to get him to the shelter and we were connected through PetLink. He was not very friendly so I commend Melissa for…

Getting Out The Garage

My four-year-old son went to get his wheeler out the garage and Athena got out. The dogcatcher brought her back a couple of hours later. You guys were very helpful. We wouldn’t have gotten her back if it weren’t for PetLink and the microchip. Thank you so much.

Together Again: Dozer’s Home So Quick!

Dozer’s Home So Quick!

We have an invisible fence and one day I came home to see that Dozer must have slipped his collar. I got a message next day from PetLink to say he was found. Someone took him to the same vet we take him. It worked out really great. I didn’t think anyone would think to…

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.
