Great service, fast shipping, good condition:
The book came as described, which was new! and in a timely fashion. Service was great, I plan on buying more books through Amazon.
vet student's opinion:
This was the required dog dissection guide for my Gross Anatomy class last year. The diagrams are nice, the information is good, and it is a useful quick reference tool. However, the dissection instructions are tedious and hard to understand at times (read them carefully). Overall I would recommend this book. If you want more detailed information on animal anatomy, then you need to buy a full textbook.
Helpful for a starting guide:
Really great start to dog dissection but if you want a more in-depth analysis that is also less travel friendly, go for the larger version of this book.
I live with this book....:
As a first year veterinary student, this book has become a lifeline at school. Whether it's looking up some unknown body part in Radiology lab, or needing a drawing to further comprehend the lecture, this book delivers. A great feature is it's small size - you can carry it in your bag. I keep a few larger anatomy books at home, but this is such a help. It doesn't have the depth and detail you'll need for everything, but gives a nice, quick summary.
