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…

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: 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…

Finding My Dog

I’m so happy to have my dog back. I have been worried about him all night long. I couldn’t eat or sleep knowing he was out there somewhere, with no food or water and on Sunday evening I got a call from the emergency Animal Hospital to say that my dog was alive and well….

Poor Pippi At The Pound

A little neighbor boy comes over to play with our dog Pippi but one day he didn’t shut the gate. She crossed over a busy street and headed probably in the direction of my mother-in-law’s house. She didn’t have the right ID collar on because I had just given her a haircut. If she’d had…

Can It Really Be You, Lee Ta Boo?

Lee Ta Boo, our cat, don’t go out very often. We got up one morning and she’s nowhere to be found. The next morning she never showed up either so my wife put up posters and asked everywhere in the neighborhood but she had no luck at all. “I ain’t gonna give up, I ain’t…

I Didn’t Know She Was Gone

I was doing gardening at home and my two dogs are usually with me. I was just dealing with the weeds when a neighbor said “Where’s Mia?” I though she must be asleep inside the house but then I went upstairs and got a call saying they had got her and I said “What you…

Noodle In The Pasture

I live on a 28-acre farm in the middle of Houston Georgia. I was walking on the farm with my three dogs one day and when I looked behind me, one of ’em, Noodle, was gone. He walked all through the pasture, past all the neighbors and over to the Publix grocery store, where a…

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.
