Dog Anatomy Workbook: A Guide to the Canine Body

by Andrew Gardiner, Maggie Raynor

Overview

Andrew Gardiner and Maggie Raynor have joined forces to produce this valuable learning aid for students on canine college and veterinary courses and those working in animal care and welfare. Students are asked to label or colour various parts of the canine body in a succession of exercises covering every part of the dog and every aspect of its structure. Throughout there are revision notes, clinical pointers and tips on learning. A natural companion to Peter Goody's classic work, Dog Anatomy, and featuring over 250 individual drawings, The Dog Anatomy Workbook will assist a new generation of students to familiarise themselves with the intricate make-up of the canine body, whether it belongs to a Yorkshire Terrier or a Great Dane.
