Customer Rating: 

Clearly written and illustrated. Bought the book for my daughter who is going into VT. She did very well in a recent competition, using the book as her sole written study reference.

Customer Rating: 

Excellent book, however, I did not realize I have a (used) earlier edition by Pratt. Interesting that it's the same text verbatim in most sections, yet different authors are credited. That's why I didn't realize until I'd already received the 2nd edition copy that I have essentially the same book already! Seems a bit misleading to me.

Customer Rating: 

The text is a great study aid for veterinary medicine. I highly recommend it for understanding the reasons why we do a procedure the way we do.

The author's writing style is easy to read with plenty of realistic examples of what one might encounter in a veterinary practice. Lists of drugs are arranged in tables describing their names, functions, and occasionally their side effects. The only downside is the CD's AccuCal tests; while the CD helps one study the tests are very simple in that if you word the answer slightly differently (i.e. BID means twice a day not two times a day or twice daily) it is automatically counted as wrong causing frustration for the test taker. Other than that the book is EXCELLENT!!

Dr. Margi Sirois is the head of the Penn Foster Veterinary Technology Program that I'm in. This book covers everything a Vet Tech student needs to know. So If you are one get this book.
