I also want to thank you for facilitating such a wonderful service to pet owners everywhere. I first learned about Pet Link through Clover’s vet, Ebensburg Animal Hospital, who…

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…

Alex the Alley Cat

Our cat Alex was an outdoor cat and came home every morning after a night of hunting. On the 16th of August, he just didn’t come home. He never wandered very far, but we had moved to a new house two weeks before so maybe he wandered farther than usual. We aren’t sure what happened….

Fast Harley

I had surgery and had not been feeling well, so for the second time in two weeks I thought I had closed the driveway gate but I hadn’t. The first time I realized it almost immediately and got right in the car and picked him up! On Thursday, 8/22 I did the same thing but…

Ben can’t Best PetLink

My cat Ben was taken to county animal control by someone in the area on 7/24. Ben is determined to go outside and with our busy household, it’s very very difficult to keep him inside, and he continually slips out of his collar. I was contacted by PetLink and by animal control on 7/25. I…

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.
