Puppy Owner Thinks "PetLynx is Awesome!"

My five-month-old border collie X puppy, Kimowan, slipped through an open gate or under the fence... and was only gone for a few minutes when I noticed she had escaped.

After a quick search of the neighborhood, I Googled the Internet for help in finding her.  I was directed to the Edmonton Humane Society and then to PetLynx. I registered  with PetLynx, uploaded a picture, and right away it showed me potential matches with pictures and descriptions of dogs that fit my dog's description.

Unfortunately, Kimowan was not in those matches but I looked through the other pictures and Viola!, there she was! I was delighted and relieved that someone had posted a photo on PetLynx so quickly.

Previous to losing Kimowan, I did not know about Petlynx ... but I do now and will refer any of my friends if they ever lose their beloved pets. We are very happy that Kimowan is home safe and happy! PetLynx is awesome!

Thanks sooooo much for helping me find my puppy.

Announcing the 2010 National Urban Animal Survey

As many of you know, PetLynx Corporation established the National Urban Animal Survey (NUAS) in 2007 to fill the void we perceived for an evidence-based approach to decision making in the companion animal industry.  In 2010, we are once again moving to change the paradigm for information and intelligence in this industry.

PetLynx is pleased to announce that Socialstruct Advisory Group has been contracted to assist us to develop the next generation of Market Services and Intelligence tools for this industry.  Using the largest pool of subscribers and working with our industry partners we will prepare a National Urban Animal Report each November.
