Dr. Craig Mosley graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph where he also completed a residency and Master’s of Science program in veterinary anesthesia. Dr. Mosley has been actively involved in many facets of veterinary medicine since graduation including; mixed animal practice, critical care medicine, veterinary education, practice management and of course, anesthesia in both private and academic practices throughout North America. Dr. Mosley has been working as a Staff Anesthesiologist at the 404 Veterinary Emergency and Referral Hospital since 2014.

Dr. Mosley has written several book chapters, peer reviewed articles and has lectured extensively at local, national and international conferences on a variety of topics and issues related to veterinary anesthesia. His interests in veterinary anesthesia are diverse, encompassing everything from wildlife and zoo animal anesthesia through to the equipment used to maintain and monitor anesthesia; and from the management of perioperative pain to the issues surrounding chronic pain and palliative care. His wider interests in veterinary medicine include the role of veterinary medicine in society, the science of clinical decision-making and medical errors.

In his spare time, Dr. Mosley keeps bees, dreams of sailing the world and spends time re-exploring his home province with his veterinary anesthesiologist wife and two young daughters. They share their home with several furry and scaly friends.
