For the most part it reads in a logical way that allows groups to have one person read and the others follow instructions fairly easily. There are some nice diagrams for some sections like the muscles. These diagrams depict medial, lateral, cranial, and caudal views as well as cross section views. This is very helpful. The diagrams on nerves and arteries are okay. These are a little harder to follow because exact location may vary by dog and these don't always set as neat as muscles. The heart section is sparse.You will need some other book/notes to properly orient yourself with various internal structures of the heart. The abdominal section is pretty well done with good pictures and directions. The cranial dissection is hit and miss and I deviated from many of the directions because they didn't follow well.It's not a book that I really use to study from. I might use it as a quick reference, but our class notes provide better exam information. This is a very basic directional book that you'll likely deviate from to find the structures you're looking for.
This book was required for my anatomy class during my first year of vet school, and I am so glad they choose this one! I am now in my second year, and still go back to this book for reference. There are tons of great drawings with detailed labeling. This makes it much easier for me to visualize.
This book was wonderful for my canine anatomy class. The pictures are well done so that you can learn muscles, arteries, nerves, veins, etc. easily and often looked like my cadaver. I personally did not follow the dissection directions, but they appeared easy to follow. It was just easy for my group and me to identify the muscles, arteries, nerves, veins etc. via the diagrams.
The anatomy of the canine can be expanded to various species when studying anatomy. I used this book as my core when studying for anatomy and found it translated really well. Books such as Dyce Veterinary Anatomy may be a little too dense at times, but this handy book clarifies and illustrates tough concepts beautifully.
I bought this book for 1st year vet anatomy. It is required for the course, as it is the dissection guide. It is easy to follow and has excellent reference pictures. In this most recent edition, they are in color for the first time. I personally find gross dissection pictures more useful as a study reference, but these hand-drawn pics are just fine for locating things in antonym laboratory. I would recommend it for any vet student whose anat lab does not already have it as a required text. It has also been in the reference library of nearly every clinic I have worked it, so it is a useful reference that you will want to hold onto!
The book is very useful, especially in my Gross Anatomy lab where we are currently dissecting dogs. Very clear and easy to follow. I gave this product three stars because the shipping was ridiculously and inconveniently slow.
I am not sure I would use this as a primary text for dissection, as I prefer a different software package to for that, but this does a good job as a supplement for traditional dissection instructions. The images are very well laid out, and similar to those in Veterinary Anatomy by Dice. While the book is much easier to put in your bag than Dice it presents information far differently.If you can buy one book, get Dice. If you can get two, go ahead and pick this up. If you only care about dogs then get this.
This is a very helpful book to have for dissection of a dog. My only problems are that directions are sometimes vague, and it occasionally does not go into enough detail. Overall, worth the money and contains many helpful diagrams.
