Duarte-Azusa Animal Hospital Continues to Provide Care for Duarte-Area Pets

DUARTE, Calif., Jan. 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duarte-Azusa Animal Hospital located in Duarte, California, has been offering care for pets in this region of Los Angeles for more than 15 years. The staff, which includes Dr. Rahim Zabihi, offers standard and emergency care six days a week, plus boarding, dental care, vaccinations and other services. “We’ve enjoyed providing care for the pets in our community for so long, and we’re looking forward to getting to know more of them and their owners,” said Dr. Zabihi.

Duarte-Azusa Animal Hospital welcomes all pets, including cats, dogs and some exotic animals. Internal medicine and surgery is available, in case a pet may have eaten something that disagreed with them or something they shouldn’t have. The clinic uses a wide variety of modern tools and technology, such as x-rays and ultrasounds, and also has a good knowledge of all types of pets at all stages of their lives.

For instance, Dr. Zabihi is happy to give advice to families with a new puppy or kitten, including recommended diet and home care strategies to prevent problems later and assure that a healthy animal will remain an important part of a family for years. Your new animal will receive a thorough examination of their heart and lungs, plus a de-worming and the appropriate vaccinations for their age. 

Owners of more mature animals can also bring them in for a check-up and advice on everything from different physical activities to changing nutrition needs.

Dental care is available, which includes routine cleaning and polishing, plus fluoride treatment. Charting is performed with every visit for a permanent medical record which can help the staff gauge if the pet’s teeth and oral health change over the years. Owners are also encouraged to take an active role in their pet’s dental health, such as regular brushing and monitoring if conditions change in their mouths or diets. The Duarte-Azusa Animal Hospital can offer advice in choosing tools like brushes or toothpaste, plus an oral rinse aid which can be added to their water. There are even teeth-friendly treats available.  

“We stress preventative measures in all areas of a pet’s health, not just dental care,” said Dr. Zabihi. “There are several things that owners can do to help their pet’s health now, that can minimize pain in the future, and help the animal live a long and enjoyable life.”

The clinic even offers an in-house pharmacy, plus advice on proper nutrition for different ages, breeds and types of animals. Owners seeking vaccinations are welcome to visit the vaccination clinic which takes place 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays.
