VERY helpful for organizing WHAT you need to know.

I hadnt revisited all of the info taught to me in college since 99. After using this book along with review questions and answers book from the same author, its all coming back to me in an organized manner finally sinking in solidly. This is like all of your education in notes better organized and accessible. A MUST for passing the RVT! Use with other product for best results!

One of the Best Books for Techs

I have read and used many textbooks as a technician and this has to be one of the most helpful. The chapter breakdowns allow you to find information very easily and quickly. It's also great for those times when you need to remember something that you just can't figure out. The quizzes in the book relate more to the NVTE than most books.

Great review for the VTNE!

I am taking a class that reviews the items that are on the Veterinary Technician National and State Examinations and this is the textbook we use for the class. It has everything you will need to pass the exams to become certified and/or registered!

A great book to have

This book is wonderful for indepth information on certain procedures. However when I first bought this book I was a little intimidated becasue of how " technical " it was. Since I was just starting out in the field. But now I love it! Alot of very useful information. I also think this is a book you need in order to become a CVT.

A reader from WI

This is the best review book out there for the veterinary technician. If it is either for studying for boards or just to review, this book will make the process less stressful.
