Never Give up Hope

My dog Dale was taken by an aide sent by a local agency to take care of my husband after a total ankle replacement, in March 2023. I made flyers and sent them to every vet and dog groomer in the county, reported his microchip stolen immediately, contacted animal services and had his license flagged…

Pepper’s Quick Escape (and Return!)

This is Pepper. She is a ‘retired’ therapy dog, and has never run away before. She must have slipped out as the workers were coming in and out during the AC installation operations. Thanks to local Detective David Ortiz, who spotted her near the Police Dept, he took her to Island Animal Hospital, our vet,…

Reunited

My ex boyfriend/baby daddy or one of his friends had neglected Gizmo’s grooming and dumped him off somewhere around the time a hurricane was coming through while I was away. Gizmo was so matted and 2 of his nails had grown INTO his pads on his pack paws.  I am very thankful for microchips and…

Almost 5 months!!!

Theon went missing at beginning of November 2022. We thought he was just off wandering for a few days like cats do (even though he’s neutered). After 3-4 days we got worried and we started checking shelters. He was chipped but I hadn’t registered him! I did it as soon as I thought of it…

Spooky got out of our house on February 16, 2022. On October 10, 2022 I received a call from PetLink that someone had been found. I couldn’t believe that it was him! I called the wonderful lady who took him to the vet for a check-up and found out he’d been chipped. The vet notified…

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.
