Bailey Veterinary Clinic

In 1950 Don Bailey graduated from Colorado State and moved to Roseburg with his wife Betty and the first of their three children for an internship with Dr. Dallen Jones. At the end of the internship, Don and Betty had their car packed ready to head back to Ukiah, California. At the same time, Dr. George Nichols had passed away and his family approached Don to see if he would stay and run the clinic long enough for them to get Dr. Nichols' affairs in order. And, as they say, the rest is history.

Through the years Bailey Veterinary Clinic has strived for excellence in the treatment of their clients' pets, farm animals and livestock.

Animal care and client satisfaction have been and continue to be the main objective of the doctors and staff at the clinic. They have completed a new large animal treatment barn and hospital, added more runs for dogs, remodeled the grooming area and enlarged the parking lot. For the convenience of their clients Bailey Veterinary Clinic encourages appointments but welcomes walk-ins.

Bob Bailey, Don's brother also graduated from Colorado State and became a partner eight years later. In 1982 Blair Bailey, Don's son completed his internship and joined the clinic. The growth continued and in 1988 Craig Downie also joined the clinic. In 1991 Don retired (sort of) to work full time on his sheep and cattle ranch. While hunting in Canada in 1995, Dr. Bob suffered a heart attack and passed away. Today, Blair, Craig and their newest partner Mike Martin own and operate Bailey Veterinary Clinic which staffs 7 full time doctors, an ophthalmologist on a referral basis, 21 support staff and 2 groomers.
