By	Claudia U. Blackley (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Since I purchased this little pocket book I have found it invaluable. Not only for me but I've purchased another 4 of these books for fellow Veterinary Nurses. It is great for study or just for day to day references. Whether you're a seasoned veterinary professional or just starting out, this little pocket book is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful little book!, April 15, 2009

By	Stephanie "Critter Lover" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This tiny little book is packed with information that a Vet Tech uses on a regular basis, as well as some that's a bit more obscure. All of it is pertinent to the job though. I'm glad I found it!
