What A Blessed Relief!

My very mellow fellow, Deo the Manx cat, wandered off on a Saturday afternoon without his collar (had just brushed him). That was the first time he’d never come back before nightfall. I went into panic mode – Humane Society, posters, long walks through the neighborhoods, flyers, etc. – then just had to sit back…

Brittney’s Home!

We were able to pick up Brittney from the Houston BARC foundation on January 27th 2012. Unfortunately, she had been there since the 22nd but we were told they did not find the chip until the 26th. She was in terrible condition, very emaciated from being out on the streets, but she is under the…

Registration Saves The Day

I had let Sparky out back and went about getting the rest of my lunch. A couple of hours later, when it was time to pick up my daughter Rosey from school, I opened the door and called for Sparky. After not seeing him, I walked around outside to find him. That was when I…

Together Again: Asking For Axel’s Credentials

Asking For Axel’s Credentials

Axel was found before his new owner even knew he was missing. The new owner’s change of registration was not activated and Axel was still listed as my pet. So, imagine my surprise when I got a call from PetLink saying my German Shepherd had been found! Luckily Axel’s new owner is a relative of…

Together Again: Our Pal Is Home

Our Pal Is Home

We have been reunited with our Lab Retriever Pal, and since my husband has been in the hospital, and I didn’t want to leave him alone … the people who found Pal were kind enough to bring her home. Pal is our family dog, but my husband, Jim, is particularly attached to her and he…

Apollo’s Antics

My German Shepherd Apollo is always running away. It’s very frustrating. We have a good experience with PetLink knowing the chip will help to bring him home safe.

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…

Kizmet’s Happy Fate

Your service worked wonderfully. We were reunited with our Siberian Husky, Kizmet, within hours of her disappearance. And, it would not have happened without PetLink. Kizmet is relatively new to our home and figured out how to open the latch on the gate to her yard. She then jumped the extra 4ft fenced area that…

A Tanq Full Of Fun!

My Pointer is called Gin Tanq 10, after the fine spirit Tanqueray. She’s a beautiful pedigree dog I received as a gift from a family friend. She’s not used to being inside, in fact she grew up on a farm down on the river. Until recently I’d kept her contained, but then I moved into…

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.
