The second edition of Nutrition and Disease Management for Veterinary Technicians and Nursesis a comprehensive, easy-to-use reference for veterinary technicians in clinical practice... This reasonably priced book is available in paperback and e-book formats and includes access to a companion website that was not yet available at the time of this review. (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 December 2015) From a nursing point of view, this book would be a welcome addition to any practice library. It is clear and concise and contains useful information on feeding and nutrition. (Veterinary Record, 1 December 2015) Critique: An ideal and comprehensive introduction for veterinary studies, with a great deal of enduring value as a professional reference for practicing veterinarians and veterinary clinic staff members, Nutrition and Disease Management for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses is impressively well organized and thoroughly 'reader friendly'. Nutrition and Disease Management for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses should be considered an essential addition to professional and academic Veterinarian Studies instructional reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists.
