Dr. Ty Owens was born and raised in the metro-Detroit area, graduated from Kalamazoo College with his bachelor’s degree in 2018, and graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Michigan State University in 2025. Between graduating from college and being accepted into MSU, Dr. Ty worked at Parkway Small Animal and Exotic Hospital for 3 years, where he fostered a passion for exotics and helping clients nurture the human-animal bond with their animal companions. During his years of schooling, he was also introduced to aquaculture medicine and honeybee medicine – both of which he hopes to apply to his practice in the future.
Dr. Ty is a big fan of food and enjoys cooking and baking whenever time allows. Listening to music and playing games – digital, tabletop, or otherwise – are two of his favorite pastimes, and he especially loves live music. But, above all, he truly enjoys getting to know people, animals of all kinds, and their stories.
