Together Again: And With A Wave Of The Magic Wand…

And With A Wave Of The Magic Wand…

I was very, very pleased to get my one-year-old Cocker Holly back so quickly. I didn’t realise Holly was missing. I didn’t get the gate fastened and she must have thought it was good times because she was off and gone. The first I knew was a call asking ‘Have you lost a white dog?’…

Together Again: Ivy Was 30 Miles From Home

Ivy Was 30 Miles From Home

Strangely, my little kitty, Ivy, who always stayed nearby, ended up missing one day. We live near some woods, and I was afraid that something bad happened to her when she disappeared. She was gone for over two months! In fact, thinking she was gone for good and that we would never see her again,…

Fisher’s Chip

I let my cat Fisher out in the morning when I took my dog for a walk. He didn’t come in when I went inside. One of my neighbors found him, thought he was lost, fed him and, because he had a PetSmart tag, took him to get scanned. When they found his microchip with…

Faster Than The Speed Of PetLink

We have two dogs, my Coonhound, Lilly, in the picture and Maya, an American Foxhound. I got home after work one day and the Foxhound was going crazy at the door. The dog going frantic alerted me so I looked in the yard and, sure enough, Lilly was gone. I guess the meter reader must…

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.
