PetLynx™ is the world's first and most comprehensive utility for the capture, reference, and retrieval of information on individual companion animals. This service supports recording of all types of identification, web-based access for identifying owners of pets that are found, and a world-wide resource for pet related information. Key features of PetLynx™ include:

  • Pet ID Registration: Veterinarian ability to register pets in the PetLynx™ system as they implant them with microchips. Can also record all ISO standard and other electronic pet ids (microchips), civic license information, collar tags, tattoos and photographs. The Pet Owner has the ability to register themselves and their pets.
  • Why All Ids? PetLynx™ operates to serve ALL pet identification mechanisms. That means that we encourage registration of every type, make, and brand of pet identification. Our belief is that the more ways a pet can be identified, the greater the likelihood of repatriation with their pet owners. We do not have any proprietary Ids that we sell or promote. PetLynx is simply an industry utility - serving ALL.
  • Role-based Management: Pet Owners manage their own pet details (breed, species, age, name, description, contact locations, etc.) on the Web. Several other distinct roles give specialists the tools required for their unique functions in the pet industry. For example, veterinarians administer secure control of microchip implants for pets. Municipalities manage animal licensing via PetLynx. And Distributors, Insurers, Breeders, Kennels, Retailers, other companion animal service providers have the tools to maintain their own information to support their customers.
  • Pet Transfer: Ensuring smart and secure transition of ownership when pets are adopted, sold, or transferred for other reasons (e.g., allergies, etc.).
  • Lost & Found: Web Visitors search for owners of a pet they find one that is lost using various identifiers. Automated comparison and notification when new pets are reported found or lost. This service also presents pet photos and other relevant identifiers for validation of matches.
  • Lifetime Global Service: When you move, PetLynx goes with you. Each pet registered with us remains in the database for life. And being global, if your pet is stolen in Albuquerque New Mexico, it can be identified a week later in Adelaide Australia. We serve the pet WORLD!
  • Knowledge Repository: A rich collection of thousands of online pet related resources including:
    • A library of articles ranging from how to select the right pet to recent breakthroughs in animal drugs and pet welfare.
    • Public access to thousands of pet-related links all categorized for quick reference.
