PetLynx commits $30 Million to Urban Animals in Canada

PRESS RELEASE

PetLynx is moving forward with its mission to identify 
every pet in Canada.


Calgary, AB - PetLynx Corporation created the first automated Return to Owner system in 2006 and reached critical mass by registering the millionth animal in 2014.


In keeping with the  mission to identify and register every pet in Canada, Thomas R. Trifaux, Board Chair, PetLynx Corporation, announced a plan to save Canadian pet owners $30,000,000 during the INNOVATION Keynote address at Summit 2014. The response was overwhelming: The Alliance for Urban Animals selected ‘identifying every pet in Canada’ as the 2015 industry wide initiative; and, Members of the Alliance committed to register one million pets through their programs and initiatives by the next Summit for Urban Animal Strategies in October, 2015.


“With two million registered users by next fall, the industry neutral PetLynx registry will protect pets, serve pet families and improve economic opportunity across the entire Urban Animal community,” said Trifaux. “The PetLynx commitment to identify every pet in Canada within this decade is a ‘moonshot’ statement like the one made by President Kennedy in 1961 to put a man on the moon.”


PetLynx serves pet owners as well as Alliance members who operate shelters, kennels, retail stores, clinics, hospitals, licensing agencies. Alliance members serve more than 340 Canadian communities. Members can reserve a portion of the $30,000,000 in products and services for their clients prior to January, 2015.


“The response we have received from dozens of industry leaders has been overwhelming,” said Drew Van Niekerk, President/CEO, PetLynx Corporation. “The industry is ready to adopt one central utility that provides an easy, secure and low cost way to protect pets and provide peace of mind for people.”


A PetLynx animal record empowers pet owners and authorized service providers to generate lost/found reports, access health records, record identification, upload pictures and much, much more. PetLynx is the only registry that allows pet owners to store information about their companion and opt-in to services they need. Every month, the PetLynx utility receives more than 33,000 logins, serves more than 2,000 recovery episodes and hosts more than 1.2 million visits.
