Shepherds and fireworks don’t mix

Friday July 5th at 10pm, my daughter walked outside holding Myla (without her collar or leash) and suddenly neighbors started shouting off fireworks right beside our house. Myla panicked scratching her way loose and shot off like a bullet down the street. Within seconds she disappeared!  We desperately looked for her for hours but couldn’t…

Angels in disguise

We took our sweet girl on a trip 3 hours from home to the car racetrack. The first night was fine, but on the second day, as soon as the race car fired, our girl ran off. For 5 days and countless hours of walking in the woods, posting on all social media sites, and…

PetLink located my cat after she was missing for 2 years

I had a tiny kitten show up on my back porch.  I began feeding her and she eventually allowed me to start petting her.  I had her fixed at CatSnip and they implanted the PetLink chip.  She disappeared 2 years ago and I assumed the worst.  Last week, Affordable Vet Clinic called and said they…

Returned!

Bennett and his brother, Oakley, were returned by the man who found them even before their microchips came into the rescue story. But, knowing our boys were microchipped made the waiting bearable. We trusted that when Monday morning came and the vet opened that whoever found our dogs would get them scanned and we’d be…

Home Again Thanks to PetLink

Ellie, our eight-year old Shih Tzu, slipped out the backdoor and was missing for almost two hours on June 17. It was a period of sheer fear and panic as we feared the worst. We searched the neighborhood, posted her photo on social media, and reported her description to local police. But the most effective…

Reunited because of PetLink

I lost my baby girl Layla in a town a was visiting and she and I were not familiar with. PetLink helped me find my baby. Her PetLink tag was on her, but she was scared and running from people. So PetLink readily had many “lost” posters to choose from. I picked one a printed…

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.
