Customer Reviews

Ideal for the Animal Lover!
I had to have this book for my college course and bought it a couple of weeks early, although its factual i found it very interesting and learnt about things that i have never known before. Its really interesting and i would advise all animal lovers to buy it!

Good basic start with clear diagrams
Clear and comprehensive for the beginner that wants to know more. Not fussy in it's layout and has good clear diagrams. Easy to read language that doesn't get carried away and lose the point. Very useful on my NVQ level 2 animal care course.

Animal Biology and Care
This book is great for those enetering the Veterinary nursing profession or starting pre-vet/animal care courses but is a little too basic for level2 and 3 nurses.
