Offering comprehensive coverage of core anatomic concepts, this respected, clinically oriented text is the definitive source for a complete understanding of veterinary anatomy. Gain the working anatomic knowledge that is crucial to your understanding of the veterinary basic sciences, as well as detailed information directly applicable to the care of specific animal species, including dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and birds. Each chapter includes a conceptual overview that describes the structure and function of an anatomic region, accompanied by new full-color dissection photographs that illustrate the relevance of anatomy to successful veterinary practice.

• Content is logically organized into two main sections - a general introduction to mammalian anatomy and a region-specific breakdown - to make studying more efficient and ensure greater understanding.
• Comprehensive, all-in-one coverage of all major species presents everything you need to master anatomic concepts in one text.
• Focus on essential anatomy of each species delivers just the right level of detail to help you establish a solid foundation for success.

• For the first time all images in the text appear in full color! This lifelike presentation clarifies anatomic concepts and structures in vibrant detail.
• Vivid full-color dissection photographs help you translate anatomic knowledge to clinical practice and confidently perform dissection procedures.
• A companion Evolve Resources website reinforces your understanding and helps you prepare for the NAVLEÒ board exam with 300 exam-style practice questions, a full-color electronic image collection, and more.

Just a quick warning for anybody tempted to buy the e-book version: diagrams are missing (with a label saying they're not licensed for electronic use,) and the formatting of the e-book is bad. You'll have a diagram on one page, and the labels on another, so you have to constantly flip back and forth. If you want Dyce, stick with the paper book version for now, until the publishers can actually figure out how to put an e-book together well.

Not one of my favorite vet textbooks. I find that it jumps around too much and the information isn't arranged very well, at least for me. Some of the pictures are ambiguous - one that comes to mind is a drawing of the canine phalanges where some of the sesamoid bones are drawn in very faintly, like the artist wasn't quite sure if they should be there or not.

Maybe I'll appreciate this textbook more when I get to comparative anatomy, but for readability, reliability and clarity on canine anatomy I much prefer Miller's Anatomy of the Dog.

Update 1/2/2012: Completed my third and final formal anatomy course in vet school using this text and I still don't like it much at all. I think the approach of trying to cover multiple species in a single book is admirable, but what ends up happening here is a mish-mash of details spread-out over various sections of the book that aren't easy to follow. I also continued to find it frustrating that some information was not presented clearly (whether in picture or textual description), leaving you to wonder what the correct anatomy was for a given topic. Finally, I noticed that the number of errors in the book increased in the later chapters; in particular, I remember the avian chapter having several obvious errors that even I, a novice, noticed right off. Not recommended.
