Found Her!

My Lulu found a weak spot in the fence and managed to escape. We looked all over the neighborhood for her and couldn’t find her…I was heartbroken. Then I remembered she had a microchip! So I hurried and ran into the house to update her info on the website, because we had moved out of…

A LONG 9 Months And 12 Days

Windy ran out of the house on December 18, 2010. We searched for her for hours, days, months, but were unable to locate her. On September 30, 2011, I received a call from PetLink indicating our Furbaby had been scanned in at the Garland Animal Services, and I ran out of my office and hit…

The Reason Bear Got Microchipped

One night I was walking Bear, like we always do, and a big pit bull came out of no where and attacked my baby Bear. He might be a Bernese Mountain Dog but he is only 4 months old so he isn’t that big yet. Bear fought his way out of his collar and ran…

Am I Glad To See You!

First thing in the morning, I’m getting ready for work, I open the back door, go on the computer, I check the weather, have coffee, I’m running late. Charlie’s a really good dog but I look round the unfenced yard and he’s nowhere to be found. My 14-year-old son sleeps late so he went out…

Two Blocks Away

Dexter broke a hole through the fence and got into my neighbor’s yard. Usually that isn’t a bad thing but this time their gate just happened to be left open. I got him back right after he got out. It only took 20 minutes! I live close to the animal shelter and brought him right…

PetLink Did The Job

On Friday I came home to find a door wide open and my Boston Charlie missing. He has run off before but, normally, within a half hour, someone calls me. I searched the streets and called authorities, but no one had seen him. I had to leave the area that night, and had pretty much…

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.
