Customer Reviews

A bit like Marmite...
My friends are divided; a group of us cannot stand Dyce and avoid it like the plague, and the rest adore it and keep it with them at all times. I personally have never found Dyce to be that useful, especially not at revision time! I find it is difficult to extract information from and always felt slightly dissatsified with the content, and felt the need to use other books to supplement. I really think it's best to have a read through this in the library (if possible) before buying. However, it is very rare that there will be one book that solves all your veterinary dilemmas, and I regularly use at least three books on any one topic when making notes and revising, so you can't disregard Dyce entirely, as there are chapters which I have found partially useful.

A must for all veterinary students!
From the first page to the last this book is packed with relevant information on all aspects of veterinary anatomy. Separate chapters on head, thorax, abdomen and limbs of all species are included along with general chapters reviewing comparative anatomy of systems (eg. nervous system). A book to learn from and an essential reference book to be able to look back on. Excellent!

Excellent all round book - ideal for students (yr 1-3)
A well written, clear and concise book, containing anatomy text and illustrations, an excellent book not only for students but animal owners interested in the anatomy of their animals. It covers all the major species incountered and is detailed enough even for the most demanding student! Especially useful for students in their first two years of their vet degree program. Note it is best to view this book first before purchasing owing to its high price - but is well worth the price as it will be used over and over again.
