The Dog Anatomy Workbook: A Guide to the Canine Body - Softcover

The Dog Anatomy Workbook is not a text book of anatomy, but a practical learning aid that will help readers grasp important aspects of canine topographical anatomy. Throughout there are interactive opportunities to color and label bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, internal organs and all other systems of the canine body. The ability to both see” and do” something while studying the intricacies of body structure is an effective method of learning and one which readers can tailor to their own needs. The editor has added various items of clinical relevance all the way through the book to remind readers how important anatomy is to diagnosis and treatment. The book will be of value to a wide range of people—veterinary and veterinary technician students and practitioners, animal science students, kennel staff, groomers, dog physical therapists and other care givers, as well as owners, artists, and others who are interested in dogs. It strikes a good balance between the anatomical exactitude and achievable, practical learning.
