Meet Our Founders: Dr. Becky Craig
BayVETS Urgent Care Collingwood was founded by a group of local veterinarians who recognized the need for accessible, extended after-hours care for their own patients, while also wanting to make urgent veterinary care available to any pet in need when their family veterinarian is closed.
By bringing together the Founders Group’s experience and resources, we created BayVETS Urgent Care Collingwood, a collaborative urgent care service for illnesses and conditions that simply can’t wait. Open seven days a week, BayVETS offers the accessibility of a human after-hours walk-in clinic, supported by the veterinary resources needed to investigate and treat urgent concerns, including in-house bloodwork, X-rays, ultrasound, endoscopy and surgery.
We’d like to introduce you to another of the founders of BayVETS Urgent Care Collingwood, Dr. Becky Craig.
Dr. Becky graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College and began her veterinary career in Edmonton, Alberta, where she worked in both small animal practice and emergency medicine. In 2016, she returned home to Collingwood to be closer to family and continued working at local veterinary hospitals, as well as an emergency clinic in Barrie.
In 2023, Becky opened her own family practice, Long Beach Veterinary Hospital. As her practice grew, she recognized the need for accessible after-hours veterinary care in the community. She was excited to come together with her local veterinary colleagues and combine their experience and resources to create BayVETs.
Becky has thoroughly enjoyed being part of the BayVETs journey and watching local veterinary teams come together. She is proud of the collaborative spirit that has developed among the clinics and the opportunity to provide the community with a dedicated place for pets to receive care when they need it most.
When she’s not at the clinic, Becky loves spending time with her kids. Her favourite places to be are at the beach, running through the Blue Mountains, or cheering on her kids from the sidelines of the soccer field.
