Both My Girls Are Back

Maddie is a liver and white Springer mix and Betty is a Lab. Both of them ran away and, thanks to Maddie’s chip, I was able to get both of my girls back. Betty is recently adopted and doesn’t have a chip yet, but we will be doing that in the near future. The story…

Tinkerbell was brought in to the SPCA in Fresno by a family who found her in a cemetery. She was unconscious and cold and looking almost dead. The SPCA called me and told me that my dog had been found after they scanned her and found she had a microchip. It had been a whole…

Together Again: Split Second Escape

Split Second Escape

My brother-in-law took my sister’s dog Prancer down to my Dad’s business a few days ago. It’s down the street from where I live. He turned around for a split second and the dog was gone. Prancer didn’t go far though and we think someone must have picked him up so fast after he disappeared…

Faster Than The Wind

I have a dog that can run faster then the wind and because she was microchipped she was able to be located and brought home. Mary is a Catahoula Leopard Dog and she runs really fast. The microchip service has been so helpful, I am very grateful to have my dog back.

Overjoyed To Be Back With My Boys

I rescued Cooper and his brother, Jesse, back in September 2011, after my dog of eight years, Jack, had passed away. These puppies brought a lot of joy and happiness back in my life. Then, on 11/18/11, they both went missing from their own yard, (even though I work from home). My son and I…

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.
