Golden Boy

Our Golden Pomeranian, Oliver, was fairly new in our house and just a puppy. We were trying to train him to stay around the house and go outside for the bathroom. So he was used to going in and out, until one day when I went outside and called and called but couldn’t find him….

Gnawing His Way Out

My wife Elida was about to go for a jog. She checked on our dog Choco and he was good. When she came back a good portion of the gate was gnawed off and Choco was gone. She looked frantically around the neighborhood and soon we got a call from the Animal Hospital. Choco had…

Yeah! Ace Is Home!

After wandering out the front door on Oct 30th, Ace was picked up by our local police and taken to the pound. He was there for several days before someone realized that his paperwork wasn’t in order so we didn’t get notified. If he hadn’t had PetLink, our little guy would not have made it…

Where’s Katie?

Our Pitbull Terrier Katie has never left before, she always stayed right with us, never walked away. We were at my son’s house and all packed ready for the weekend when we said “Where’s Katie?” We spent an hour on foot and bicycles combing the neighborhood which she wasn’t familiar with. While we were trying…

Together Again: Missy Scoots Through

Missy Scoots Through

Missy is a little dog, we think she’s a Lhasa Apso. She weighs just about 11lbs. I also have a 30lb cocker, Princess Sara, and she had figured out how to open the side gate. I thought I’d had it fixed, but it’s an old wooden gate with just enough room for my little one…

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.
