For veterinary technicians and their professors, this book is a gift. It not only teaches the basics of anatomy and physiology but covers comparative domestic animal anatomy as well. No longer will the vet tech have to depend on human anatomy texts or buy expensive, huge volumes on each separate animal. The book is beautifully written and distills complex, large topics into simple manageable material. For veterinarians, the book is a great way to quickly review anatomy of all the species. For the nonprofessional reader, it would be a fascinating look at how animals are the same and yet different. The diagrams alone are worth the purchase.

This is a great book for those of us going to school for vet. tech.It has clinical applications,a huge glossary,great pictures and is very easy to understand.It covers all the systems,detailed pictures of organs,a great section on cellsand it even covers birds also!It combines anatomy and physiology all in one place.it doest jump around like other texts do.

This textbook is pretty good information for those who are studying anatomy and physiology for the first time. However, it lacks the development of information at times for the functions I and descriptions of bones. Also, if you are a graphic learner, this book falls behind in terms of pictures. I found that I really needed to absorb what was observed in the lab to connect it with the information in this book.
Overall, it's a good start to learning the basics of anatomy and physiology.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I am preparing for my Veterinary Medical Technology Degree. I have many books on veterinary medicine and technology. I ordered Clinical Anatomy & Physiology for Veterinary Technicians because I wanted to better understand the animal body and its systems. This is a very good book for that. It is very easy to read and understand. There are many diagrams that are well layed out and are clear and concise. This is a great book if you are a student or if you just want to learn about the animal body and its many fascinating structures and systems.

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.

If you are interested in going into the Vet Tech field this a great textbook. It really allows you to see what you will be studying and if this field is right for you.
