Customer Reviews

Great value.

Clearly written and illustrated. Bought the book for my daughter who is going into VT. She did very well in a recent competition, using the book as her sole written study reference.

Same text - different author (and chapter authors) as earlier edition authored by Pratt

Excellent book, however, I did not realize I have a (used) earlier edition by Pratt. Interesting that it's the same text verbatim in most sections, yet different authors are credited. That's why I didn't realize until I'd already received the 2nd edition copy that I have essentially the same book already! Seems a bit misleading to me.

Thurough text

The text is a great study aid for veterinary medicine. I highly recommend it for understanding the reasons why we do a procedure the way we do.

A must have for Vet Tech Students.

Dr. Margi Sirois is the head of the Penn Foster Veterinary Technology Program that I'm in. This book covers everything a Vet Tech student needs to know. So If you are one get this book.
