Don’t Be Afraid Of Ace

Ace got out somehow, we’re not exactly sure because we weren’t there. My boyfriend thinks he may have left the front door open. Ace got out but got picked up by neighbors who called Animal Control. They took him back to the county shelter where he was scanned and they contacted me. It took two…

Together Again: Treats For Pete

Treats For Pete

I heard Pete bark around 10 at night. He’s not a barker, so I got up to look out the window. But before I got there he stopped barking so I went to bed. Next morning I got up and Pete was gone. I live in the country in Coffeyville, Kansas where it’s heavily wooded…

Buddy Is Back Home

I got my pet microchipped on a spur of the moment decision. I knew Buddy would never run away from me. But when I took him to a kennel, he managed to escape from them and run away. Animal Control set a humane trap for him, but because he was chipped, he was able to…

Together Again: What Would We Tell The Kids?

What Would We Tell The Kids?

I am very excited to have my dog back. Disco likes to get out and run a lot. He was even once in the newspaper because he ended up running up to my son’s high school and going to the principal’s office in an attempt to be located. This time, Disco got out and it…

Together Again: He’s A People Dog

He’s A People Dog

The lawn gardeners left the gate open at our home and my miniature Schnauzer Reese got out. Reese loves people, so he hit up about three or four homes before someone was able to get him scanned and we were called shortly after. These chips really, really work, thank goodness.

It’s Human Nature

My Lab Retriever Peach and my other dog got out onto the road. An old lady found them there and pulled her car over. She opened the door and called to them and they ran right over and jumped in her car. She took them to the Humane Society, they scanned them, called PetLink and…

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.
