Are You Missing Topher?

I want to thank PetLink! Topher has been missing for a while. When the pound called to say they had him, they asked if we were missing Topher. I was like “yes, ma’am!” and they said “we think we have him but we are not sure we do.” The people had totally bleached him they…

Reunited after a break up

Turnpike was originally my ex boyfriends dog, but I was the one who took him to the vet and updated his info and got him a microchip. On paper, he’s my dog. After we broke up, I had no choice but to leave him with my ex, who gave him away without telling me. I…

Amazing!

After 2.5 months on the lam, we have been reunited with our baby! What amazing technology! He traveled about 11 miles from home and was being cared for by a kind person who thought he was a stray. She gained his trust and took him to a vet. They scanned his chip and immediately called…

Found Before I Knew She Was Missing

I left for work, around 8:00AM, and forgot to close the back door. By 9:30AM I received a text and call that Frieda was found running the neighborhood. I am so thankful she was not hit or stolen! Thank you, PetLink!

Wind Storm Runaways

We recently moved to the greater Corpus Christi, Texas area and haven’t learned that you must expect the wind to knock over or blow open anything you have, including our front gate. Unfortunately, our worst nightmare happened at 3AM: and the wind had blown open the gate, just as we were going to get our…

We didn’t know he was missing!

We had a busy day of doing yard cleanup and building our twins’ new bunk bed and we were alerted that our sweet Willis had been found and taken to the animal hospital and scanned. We had no idea he was even missing! He had gotten out of a gate that was usually shut and…

Home and Safe

I’m having some remodel work done on my house. The contractors left for the day and shortly afterwards I received a notification from PetLink that my dog had been found. Of course, I ran around the house frantically looking for him he was not in the house, not in the yard, so I called the…

Missing for a week

I let Dutchess out to go potty on May 6th, 2022. She normally roams but always comes back home. When she never came back that day, I started posting her on social media and went and drove around for days trying to find her. I got a message on May 12th, 2022 saying someone found…

Found in less than 2 hours!

We had left the back door open while cooking dinner, and Violet decided to go explore, which she usually does not do. She usually just wants to be around us at all times.  When we realized she wasn’t in the house, we immediately started combing the neighborhood.  I received a text from PetLink saying that…

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.
