 From a vet student July 20, 2005

Pros: It is easy to read, not incredibly boring, when it provides good information, it does so in an easy to understand way.
Cons: Contradictory information, the steps are not well organized, sometimes you cut through muscle you later find out you should have saved.
Nice companion for Miller's Anatomy of the Dog March 4, 2004

Overall, I found this to be an excellent book for small animal (technically dog only) gross anatomy. I say small animal, but I find myself referring to this text even when studying large animal anatomy. Reason--I like how the text very clearly indicates proximal and distal muscle attachments for all major muscles and specific nervous and arterial supply to all major muscles.The pictures and diagrams are decent, but all in black and white. I found it helpful to color in structures in the book as I dissected that specific part of the animal. I didn't find the text as boring as other reviewers have. True, the subject matter is tedious, but this book gets right to the point. Paradoxally, that is also while I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5. A lot of the detail is missing. I suggest having a copy of Miller's Anatomy of the Dog to go with this dissection guide. Highly recommended!

This book has excellent pictures, but the text could cure insomnia. While its useful to have some guidelines as to where to cut when if this is your first time in anatomy lab, you might be better off letting your lab partners buy this one and getting a bigger and better reference book instead. I highly recommend the entertaining anatomy books from Sudz publishing by Chris Pasquini.

This book has good information, however the diagrams get confusing, and I found myself flipping through numerous pages to find references to diagrams in the text.

This book is really helpful in low to medium level of veterinary anatomy. It is easy for begniners to look and find, but professionals might want something else...
I still think it is a great book.
