An iPad App for Pets? You bet!

O.K. ... we know this has nothing to do with lost and found pets ... but at PetLynx Corporation we like to encourage pet families to have fun and strengthen the bond they share with their animal companions!

Own on iPad? Share your home with a lap cat? Then here is something fun you can try to keep your cat occupied on a cold winter night! (Not sure if many dogs would be willing to get in on the action!)

DolfBall is a straightforward, addictive, time-killing game you can play with your friends - OR - your pets on your iPad! Yes, there is actually a "Pet Mode" - the first of its kind for an iPad app. And it's free on iTunes and already getting a bunch of chatter. 

The game was invented by a guy named Dofl Y.H. Yun - a senior developer at one of NY's top digital agencies, Firstborn.  Pretty hilarious.  Especially if you have a cooperative pet.

PetLynx Makes a Match ... Before Newspaper Ad was Published!

If this dog's guardian had updated her contact  information and been registered with PetLynx, this dog would have been HomeSafe in under an hour ... But, thanks to PetLynx, this story still has a happy ending!

My husband and I saw a sweet little dog crossing a busy road on its own. We turned around right away to rescue it and watched in horror as she was almost hit by a car! Lucky for everyone, she survived that encounter and we picked her up safely on the other side of the road. She was wearing a collar and license tag so I called the city pound, but the information on her tag had not been updated.

Concerned About Pet Overpopulation?

Consider "Fixing 'em while they're young"


At PetLynx Corporation we are committed to ensuring all pets have HomeSafe homes. That's why we want to share this importance resource addressing the topic of pediatric spaying and neutering of puppies and kittens. This could very well be a big part of the solution to North America's homeless pet overpopulation problem!


PetSmart Charities has an educational video that will help reduce homeless pet overpopulation by training veterinarians on how to perform spay/neuter surgeries on puppies and kittens as small as two pounds and as young as 6-8 weeks old.

The Dog is Fine ... But Beware of the Driver!

This dog is a dangerous distraction!

At PetLynx, our goal is to help get (and keep) pets HomeSafe ... and we were surprised to learn that a recent study revealed that 2/3 of dog owners admit to engaging in distracting activities with their dogs while driving!

Dogs are wonderful companions and can be fun to bring along for a car ride. However, this can mean added distractions for the driver. A recent survey conducted by the American Auto Association (AAA) asked dog owners how often they drive with their dog and about their habits behind the wheel.

The survey found that drivers not only love to bring Fido along, but they also often engage in risky behaviors when man's best friend is along for the ride.
