Did you know that dental disease can occur in our pets as early as 2 years of age?

Is your pet having bad breath?

Have you ever looked inside your pets mouth and noticed yellowing or discolouration of their teeth?

Any inflammation or redness of their gums? Have they been drooling more than usual?

Have they been reluctant eating or playing with toys?

If you’ve noticed these signs in your pet or aren’t sure about their dental health, give us a call to schedule them for an examination.

🇨🇦 Sadie’s Reminder! 🇨🇦
Tilbury Veterinary Hospital will be CLOSED on Tuesday, July 1st for Canada Day!

🎆 Please plan ahead to keep your pets safe during the holiday:

Fireworks can be scary! If your pet gets anxious, talk to us about calming options.

No sharing BBQ food—some human foods can make pets very sick.

Watch the heat! Keep pets cool and off hot pavement.

🗓️ Need food or medication? Please place your order by Thursday, June 27th to ensure it’s ready before the long weekend.

Have a safe and happy Canada Day! 🍁

🐾🎉 Hey there, it’s me — Jax the Great Dane! 🎉🐾

Today is National Great Dane Day, so naturally, I had to make an appearance on the Tilbury Veterinary Hospital page to remind you all just how PAW-some us gentle giants really are! 💙

Sure, we’re a little extra — extra tall, extra drooly, and extra in-your-face with love — but that’s what makes us GREAT!

Some of my best qualities: ✔️ Thinks I'm a lap dog
✔️ Excellent at leaning on humans
✔️ Expert napper (especially on couches I’m technically not allowed on)
✔️ Gives the best slobbery kisses 😘

So today, celebrate the big dogs with even bigger hearts — we may take up the whole couch, but we’ll fill your whole heart too 💕

🕵️‍♂️🐾 Guess That Breed! 🐾🕵️‍♀️

Time for a new round of “Guess That Breed!” 🎉 Can you guess today’s mystery pup?

🔍 Here are your hints:
✅ My head is uniquely egg-shaped and smooth — no stop between forehead and nose! 🍳
✅ I’m muscular and strong but also playful and super affectionate.
✅ My ears stand up straight and look pretty small compared to my big head.
✅ I’m a stubborn little clown with a huge heart. 🤡❤️
✅ Once bred for bull-baiting, now I’m a loving family companion.
✅ My coat is short and dense — usually all white or white with colorful patches.

Think you know who I am? Drop your guess in the comments! ⬇️

🎉🐾 June is National Microchip Month! 🐾🎉
Let’s talk about something that could literally bring your pet back home one day — microchipping!

🐶🐱 Whether you’ve got a curious cat or an adventurous pup, a microchip is a super simple way to make sure they can always find their way back to you if they ever get lost.

💡 Why microchip?
🔹 It’s permanent ID that can’t fall off like a collar or tag
🔹 It’s required for many travel destinations ✈️
🔹 It’s quick, easy, and we use smaller needles to keep it as comfy as possible for your pet!

Think of it as your pet’s ticket home — just in case they ever wander a little too far.

📲 Give us a call or stop by Tilbury Veterinary Hospital to get your pet chipped this month!
