Product Description
Veterinary technicians must have a solid grasp of the underlying science in their field, and anatomy and physiology is a key component of the veterinary technology curriculum. CLINICAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR THE VETERINARY TECHNICIAN is the first comprehensive work designed to cover clinically relevant A&P content. Written by veterinary technician educators at a level appropriate for students, it covers dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, integrated throughout each chapter. A separate chapter at the end of the book is devoted to birds.

 Most interesting vet text! November 19, 2008
Mom of 2: Wyatt , my son in Heaven & Danika, my daughter on earth. (St. Louis, MO)
This has by far been my very favorite text in the veterinary field! I even purchased an additional copy for use in the veterinary hospital I work in - everyone, Veterinarians included, love it!
Interesting and explains things very easily.
The blue text/diagrams do get old, but I would rather have some color other than just black, which I personally find myself getting lost/daydreaming in with other texts!
It does lack real pictures, but I feel the diagrams do a wonderful job - what I did to get a real pic of structures in my head was to look at my own pets and name bones/muscles on them. I would also look at the pets, especially in surgery, at the vet hospital I work in and compare them to diagrams. In the vet tech program I took, we also had a supplement text, Color Atlas Of Veterinary Anatomy: Volume 3, The Dog And Cat (Color Atlas of Veterinary Anatomy), which did show actual pictures of a dissected dog and cat and I believe that also helped.
I was a student of one of the authors, Dr. Colville, at North Dakota State University and while I am not a big fan of the guy personally, he is a great author and I have to say, he and Joanna Bassert write a fabulous text! They really knew what they were doing and exceeded their goal with an interesting AND informative text!
 Awesome reference book! June 30, 2008
R. Hembree (Lone Wolf, OK)
Recently I started studying to get my Vet Tech certification. This was one of the text books for the Physiology class. It is an awesome book. It goes into enough detail to give a good understanding of physiological processes. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about veterinary physiology. Five paws up rating all the way!
Great Reference June 2, 2008
Jo Webnar - Author (Florida Keys)
This is a great reference book. I gave it to my husband who is a vet tech. He keeps it at the clinic so everyone can use it.
Great resource February 13, 2008

I'm heading to vet school in the fall and I bought this book to review topics and as a shelf reference. I've been very happy with it. It is well organized and easy to understand.
 A lousy textbook December 9, 2007
William J. Dennett (Portland, OR USA)

I got this book for Vet A&P class, and I'm switching to a human anatomy book for next term. This book is printed in monochromatic blue, with lousy diagrams and scant information (24 pages dedicated to the skeletal system, and a whopping 14 for the muscular system!) In short, this is the most uninviting textbook I've ever opened, and it's been completely useless to me. A total waste of 50 bucks.
