No-Fee Dog Licensing

Did you know dog licences will be free in the Town of Tillsonburg in 2024? Dog licensing remains mandatory in Tillsonburg and is a critical line of defense when a dog becomes lost. Through the Town’s partnership with DocuPet, dog owners have free access to DocuPet’s HomeSafe™ 24/7 lost pet service and online pet profiles.

Residents who register their dogs until January 31, 2024 will receive one free designer tag when they use the code TLSNBRGFREE at checkout. Dog owners may choose the standard no-cost option for additional pets’ tags or if they cannot register until after January 31. For dog owners who already have a valid registration, renewal notices will be sent via email if already on file and no fee will be associated with that renewal.

Dog owners can learn more, register, and renew their dog registrations online at https://tillsonburg.docupet.com/en_CA/, or over the phone at 1-855-249-1370.
