Curious George

Thank you, PetLink, for your concern in reference to us reuniting with our dog George. He did get home safely just a matter of minutes after you called us. Thankfully, the pet hospital he was taken to is just a few short blocks from our home. Unfortunately, this was not the first time that we…

PetLink Brought Millie Back!

Millie ran off on November 26 … one month to the day since my beloved Mom died, here at home. I was inconsolable without little Millie to keep me company. I tried trapping, put over 100 posters up (crying the whole time), left food out, and got very sick from the cold. I finally gave…

I LOVE PetLink… Matador Is Home!!

A young man found Matador and took her to a nearby vet clinic to be checked for a chip. That was all it took. He brought her to me himself as he said he wanted to see my face when I saw her. He saw my face, tears and all. THANK YOU PetLink for contacting…

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…

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.
