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…

Lucky to be alive

We take Toby everywhere so when we traveled out of state, he came along. The place we were renting had a fenced backyard and they said it was completely safe, so we left to take our child to a medical appointment and left Toby in the backyard. Later, I received a text and email stating…

Reunited in one hour!

I was kick scooter mushing on some nearby wild BLM land with my 2 Beagles this morning, when we rounded a turn and encountered a man on a mountain bike with a loose dog.  In the commotion that followed, one of my Beagles, Hamish, managed to get loose and took off after the bicyclist.  My…

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.
