Lucy, You’ve Got Some ‘Splainin’ to do!

Our sweet Irish Setter, Lucy, ran away on November 18th, 2019. That same day we were reunited with her in about an hour after she got loose. My son and I have just moved into a new house in a new town. It was the 1st day our dogs were at the house. Lucy saw…

Come Back Finn!

Finn was found at the elementary school, about a ¼ mile from my house. I was very thankful I was notified that he had been found, and that he was safe. He had escaped a few times before, so we had him microchipped in September as a precaution. Just a month later, even after making…

Bubbles’ Big Leap

Bubbles jumped a 5′ tall fence in our back yard on July 7th, 2019. I looked for her along our usual walking routes but couldn’t find her. As I was looking for her chip information, we received a call from the local animal hospital. A local girl had found her and was caring for her…

Where for art thou, Romeo?

My dog, Romeo, escaped from the backyard due to an undiscovered rotten fence board.  A neighbor several houses down from mine saw Romeo in his yard. He kept him overnight and took him to the closest vet (which is, luckily, our vet) and they scanned him. The vet called me immediately. Also, the Polk County…

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.
