Color Atlas of Veterinary Anatomy, Volume 3, The Dog and Cat

This is an excellent book to use in conjunction with your vet anatomy studies. There is a full-color photo of every possible dissection of the dog's anatomy, with a labelled drawing next to each photo. The drawing matches the photo exactly, which makes those sometimes more difficult anatomical features of a dissection much easier to discern. The book is in full-color, print quality is excellent and is soft bound. The binding is sturdy, but the front and back cover could have been a little thicker stock to hold-up to the wear and tear of the backpack and lab a little better. I put a clear laminate cover on mine that seems to help keep it in decent shape. The book also comes with online access, although I haven't tried that out yet. Would definitely recommend this to supplement your lab dissections and for review for exams.

If this book i had it 15 years ago, i would have leart my anatomy better. full of "beautiful" pics and detail labels. Of course it cant be a serial pics like dissection class but i admit it as my best teacher. I am able to compare and appreciate the anatomy pictures in the book with the real live animal at my own pace. U cant appreciate the real if dun have the basic and dun know what u r looking at. This book help me to recognise the landmark.

Worthwhile purchase! I was amazed at the level of detail that was put into the textbook, and the level of breakdown of a cat and a dog's muscle and bone structure. Very in depth and complex, and very beneficial for those entering the veterinary field. The price can be a bit steep but I think it's worth every penny.

I purchased this book to help me with my school anatomy books. WOW! I love the book! Most of my text books fall way short when showing muscles and organs, but this book it amazing. It doesn't just show you the muscles, but it goes layer by layer, so you can see and understand what is superficial and what is deep. Along with an actual photo, it gives you a detailed drawing beside the photo. Most of my school books are either drawings or only a lateral view, and they don't help much regarding the concept of where or how deep the muscle placement is in the anatomy. The only problem I have with the book is the labeling. Most of the labels do not match what is in a vet techs book. In other words, they give the correct labels, but you have to stop and think, and match up your text book with this book. For example: My text book list Common digital extensor muscle, while the book lists m. extensor digitorum communis. I know this book is listing it correctly, I just wish all text books would keep the same format. It's a great book, especially if you are studying to be a vet. It also would help any vet tech student. Just be aware there is a difference in anatomy names and you may have to do some "match ups" on the labeling. I think the "look inside" feature on Amazon leaves a lot to be desired in this book. The book is a LOT better than what you are shown in a few pages for review. If you can afford this book, I would highly recommend it for any veterinary or tech student to keep in their library of books. I can't say enough about it.

Great book, pictures are clear, arrived quickly. Thank you.

This book is an awesome tool for any vet student. It has hundreds of pictures (all labeled) of live and dissected specimens, bones, and X-Rays. In my first year of vet school, I used it all the time!

This is a beautiful book to look at and to learn from. All of the content was easy to locate and reinforcing.

Great book! Good lab dissection images and most pictures are easy to see. Helps with out of lab studying and things you can't dissect out.

As an alternative medical practitioner for humans, I was intrigued about the skeletal structure of a friend's dog. The book has excellent clear illustrations. I was very surprised to realise that the human skeleton can easily be compared to that of a dog. Many of the bones (probably not all), have the same names.

Ich mußte zugegebener Weise etwas schlucken, als ich die ersten Seiten aufschlug und mir die leuchtenden Augen eines gesunden Hundes entgegenstrahlten, der im Verlauf als Sektionspräparat stetig Schicht um Schicht dargestellt wurde. Aber nach dem ersten "ethischen" Rumoren bin ich begeistert von der Genauigkeit und Detailiertheit der Sektionen und ihrer graphischen, röntgenologischen und bildgebenden Entsprechung. Preis - Leistungsverhältnis ist top. Mit diesem Atlas macht es Spaß Anatomie zu lernen!!!

Muy practico para el primer ano de anatomia sobretodo. Tambien es practico para el trabajo. Las fotos son muy buenas.

Magnifique volume, très très bien illustré. Fortement recommandé.
