Together Again: Scary Scenario

Scary Scenario

It was very scary when my Shih Tzu, Bentley got lost. The dangers are that we live on a lake and Bentley ran onto a very busy highway. Fortunately, he was soon found and the police station scanned his microchip. I was reunited with Bentley really quickly – it didn’t even seem like more than…

Together Again: Molly Got Away

Molly Got Away

My husband and I went out of town for one night to attend a concert. We left our son and dog with relatives. My husband’s uncle was outside with our dog and his two German Shepherds. He stepped inside for a while, leaving the dogs outside. Little did he realize, our little dog could get…

My precious little Morky, Alburt Theodore, was found due to my posting of an ad (along with a current picture of him) on Craigslist in the regular LOST section. I was so happy to have him returned to me. The young lady that returned him to me informed me she was going to take him…

High Climber

We had just moved to Arlington and Maggie figured out how to jump a 6ft-tall brick wall by clawing up it. We watched her try to jump it – it’s a security wall around the house – but we had no idea she’d be able to do that. We’d only been here a couple of…

Together Again: Izzie’s Back In The Family

Izzie’s Back In The Family

Thank goodness for you! We’re thankful that we decided to microchip Izzie. We’re relieved and grateful that she was found and taken to a safe place. She ran out and bolted. Usually she comes back after five minutes. After much searching on our own – we combed the neighborhood and drove around – we received…

Doberman Duo

We have two Dobermans, Bonnie and Luna. We had Bonnie, who is black and a year old, microchipped but hadn’t had time to do Luna. The dogs got out the gate and I spent all morning and evening looking for them. My fiance joined in too but the person who found them was a neighbor…

Together Again: Almost An Entire Month!

Almost An Entire Month!

Mollie jumped over our 6 ft. back fence. She tends to be a runner and explorer which was why we got her microchipped in the first place. After almost a full month (2 days shy) of posting on CraigsList daily, frantically checking found dog listings, walking through the neighborhood yelling her name then listening for…

Digger Dog

Franklyn dug his way out of my yard. He’s a good digger and he’s a runner. Usually, he goes to the creek behind my neighbor’s house and then he comes back, but he was gone for three days. Animal control picked Franklyn up, read his PetLink chip and my children went to get him. I’m…

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.
