 Great resource; could be better November 17, 2008
As a vet tech student, I find this dictionary invaluable, with it's complete listings and light weight in my backpack. On the down side, as others have said, the book offered no pronunciation at all...so how do we pronounce these big, new words? That part was HUGE for me. Overall, a great purchase.

Great tool March 31, 2008
I am enrolled in a veterinary assistant class and this book has been a great tool for my classes. It has great photos to make the understanding of certain diseases more understandable. I recommend for anyone who is or want to be in the veterinary field.
