About Animal Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Byron Center
At Animal Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Byron Center, we are dedicated to providing exceptional specialty, emergency, and critical care for pets in West Michigan. Our team works closely with referring veterinarians, clients, and each other to deliver the highest standard of care and to be the preferred choice for your pet's needs. We understand how challenging it can be when your pet isn't feeling well and you're unable to see your regular veterinarian. That’s why we’re here 24/7, 365 days a year, committed to supporting your veterinarian in delivering comprehensive care when it’s needed most.
We provide emergency and urgent care for small animals, including most exotic pets. We care for birds, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, chinchillas, sugar gliders, rats, hamsters, gerbils, hedgehogs, pot-bellied pigs, lizards, and snakes. Please call us if your pet is not on this list. Small exotic pets can become critical more quickly, so contact us right away if your pet is not acting normally.
