There are several reasons why PetLink is the best choice for registering your pet’s microchip. PetLink allows members to enroll any brand of microchip with the PetLink registry. PetLink helps members save money by only charging a one-time, lifetime registration fee. Registering is easy and can be done online, over the phone 1-877-PETLINK (1-877-738-5465), or by mail for any brand of microchip.
PetLink offers its services for any pet microchip brand. This is convenient as many pet owners do not get to choose which brand of microchip is implanted in their cat or dog. In many cases, pets are already microchipped before they are adopted or given to their permanent family. No matter when and where your cat or dog received a microchip, you can always register or re-register with PetLink to receive all of the benefits PetLink has to offer. Since registering your cat or dog’s microchip with PetLink only requires a one-time fee, switching your pet’s microchip registration to the PetLink registry can save you money over the lifetime of the pet.

Your pet’s microchip will be registered in the PetLink database and connected to your information permanently.
An RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) pet microchip is a tiny passive electronic transponder about the size of a rice grain. The chip is implanted painlessly by a veterinarian under the pet’s skin and requires no battery since it’s only activated when scanned. When a scanner passes over the chip, it uses radio waves to power up the chip momentarily, which then transmits a unique identification number back to the scanner.
A microchip is NOT a GPS tracker – it simply stores a permanent ID number that links to owner information in a registry database.
When you have your pet microchipped, your vet should confirm whether they have registered the chip for you. If not, you will need to do this as soon as you leave the vet. It is crucial every pet’s microchip is registered with the owner’s contact information.

Without registering your pet, the microchip won’t have your contact details associated with it, which prevents you being reunited with your pet if it ever goes missing. Register your chip with PetLink today:
Each microchip is assigned a unique identification number. A veterinarian or animal shelter professional is able to scan the chip to display the ID number, which is then used to search a database. The database will show the pet’s information as well as their owner’s information – which is why it is crucial as a responsible pet parent to always keep your contact details updated in your PetLink account.
