  • Great for an intro vet assistant course!
Format: Paperback
I’ve used this book for a week so far in my veterinary assistant course, and I have to say, I like it! The chapters are pretty compact, so you get the material you need to know, without all the boring fillers. Very detailed images! I’m impressed!

  • Excellent and Informative
The book is great for the program I was studying. It helped me get through the written externship, and addressed all my questions. I definitely learned a lot, and I’m glad I was persuaded into buying this, because now it costs even more!!

  • Good text book
Got this for my daughter since her high-school vet assistant program didn't provide one. Contains pretty much all the info needed for the CVA test. Plus link to a helpful website and practice test.
