What A Blessed Relief!

My very mellow fellow, Deo the Manx cat, wandered off on a Saturday afternoon without his collar (had just brushed him). That was the first time he’d never come back before nightfall. I went into panic mode – Humane Society, posters, long walks through the neighborhoods, flyers, etc. – then just had to sit back…

Two Dark Days For Dark Star

We were so relieved to get Dark Star back, even though she’d only been missing 48 hours. Not knowing what has happened to a pet is heartbreaking, and has happened to us in the past. We even have a cat, Jack, who is microchipped who has been lost for two years. We fear he was…

Lost Lobo Now Found

My family went on a three-day holiday and we returned to find our Lobo and other small dog missing. When I checked my cell phone to report it on your site, I already had an email from you reading: “Lobo has been found”. I was so happy and amazed at how incredibly well the microchip…

Together Again: Coco Checks Out The Cafes

Coco Checks Out The Cafes

I had a good experience with Petlink. My cat, Coco, went out one night near our local tennis club. The area where I live is busy, made up of condominiums and townhouses and surrounded by cafes and shops. There are a lot of cats out at night and she wasn’t wearing a collar. I think…

Long Journey

Thanks to PetLink, we have been reunited with our precious kitty, Chub. Chub was mourning the loss of his friend and must have gotten lost in the search for his dear kitty friend. We had lost all hope in our search for Chub. About six months later we received a phone call from PetLink that…

Our Little Adventurist!

Where to begin… Well, I wasn’t looking to get another kitty after having to put down my three-year-old cat after a tragic accident, but a friend of mine insisted that I look at the kittens at her Mom’s friends’ ranch. So, one day, we drove down and I really wasn’t feeling any connection with the…

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.
