What’s That On Your Head, Halo?

Halo got out when the gate was open but she wasn’t lost for long. A kind neighbor had taken her to the shelter to be scanned and we got her back within an hour. I’m so glad we had her chipped. I’d hate to lose her again!

Together Again: Maverick, My Dusky Husky

Maverick, My Dusky Husky

I have a beautiful Husky, Maverick, the color of black smoke. She had never gotten out of her pen before but, not long ago, she got out into the back yard and jumped the fence. While I was trying to find where she was, a chaotic experience, she had been picked up by animal control….

Together Again: Every Good Deed Gets Rewarded

Every Good Deed Gets Rewarded

I’ve come across several strays near our local elementary school and I always try to recover the dogs directly to their owners or turn them over to rescue. Recently, when my Pointer, Domino went missing, I had my first experience of how a chip can reunite pets and owners quickly. One of the greatest things…

Together Again: Serial Terrier

Serial Terrier

Domino the escape artist came to us from a Second Chance ‘no kill’ shelter. Initially, it was our friend who adopted him but his work hours and Domino’s energy levels didn’t match up and we got him second hand. He’s very spirited but doesn’t like it when we leave. One day we left him with…

Playmate Returns

One of my neighbors found Achilles running around and brought him to the vet to be scanned and reunited with us. He has grown up with my three-year-old daughter and now he can play with our seven-month old baby too.

Nugget Divides His Time

I let my Ragdoll, Nugget, roam around outside. He enjoys being out in beautiful weather. He’s a really pretty kitty, really friendly, so everybody who sees him by himself wants to make sure he has a home. When I talked to the lady who took him to the vet to be scanned and identified, I…

Moses Returns Home

I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with the PetLink service. Without it, there’s no way I would have ever seen my cat Moses again. I rescued Moses as a kitten. He was abandoned in a parking lot at about 3 months. I work as a veterinary technician, so he was always…

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.
