Spooky got out of our house on February 16, 2022. On October 10, 2022 I received a call from PetLink that someone had been found. I couldn’t believe that it was him! I called the wonderful lady who took him to the vet for a check-up and found out he’d been chipped. The vet notified…

So glad we have PetLink

Sawyer is 1 1/2 years old and loves to play with his pal across the street, Remi. Yesterday, September 13, 2022, Sawyer and Remi noticed another dog pass the picket fence, they interacted but I guess they left too soon for Sawyer as he squeezed through two of the slats in the fence.  The dog…

3 Years Gone, Now He’s Home for Good

Don brought Steerpike…

Toby’s Day Out

On Saturday my wife took Toby’s collar off since he was scratching at it. On Sunday he somehow got out and when he runs he runs fast. Luckily, someone stopped and he will get in any one’s car so she took him to her daughter’s who is a groomer. Then the groomer called her friend…

Reunited

My poor dog ran away late June due to all the fireworks being lit.  We searched and searched and just couldn’t find her.  Luckily she had a microchip and was located miles away from home.  We are so glad to have her back ❤

Peanut Butter Toast Date

Pepper got our of our backyard by nosing our fence open. She is not a runner at all, but my husband was in the shower when it happened. When the elderly neighbor across the street saw her laying on our front yard, she lured her into her car with her peanut butter toast to take…

Paid in 30 days

I recently rescued a beautiful, but blind, orange tabby. He was very sick upon discovery, thrashing around in my backyard. With a lot of help from the vet, we got him on the road to recovery. Three weeks later, he was scheduled to be neutered. I chose to have him micro-chipped at that time because…

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.
