The first in the series of veterinary nursing manuals, the Manual of Practical Animal Care has been written principally for animal nursing assistants, veterinary care assistants and veterinary nurses beginning their training in practice.

The Manual of Practical Animal Care has been written principally for animal nursing assistants, veterinary care assistants and veterinary nurses beginning their training in practice. This manual has also been designed with the Animal Nursing Assistant syllabus in mind but is also suitable for others embarking on a career in animal care within a veterinary practice.

The manual serves as an introduction to veterinary practice and includes chapters on general care and management, the use of medicines, first aid and veterinary terminology.

This new edition has been designed with the Animal Nursing Assistant syllabus in mind but is also suitable for others embarking on a career in animal care within a veterinary practice.

Eight of the chapters from the first edition have been extensively re-written, and the authors have worked hard to ensure that all the information provided is of real practical use and is presented in an accessible, stimulating and attractive manner.

These, we believe, will prove to be an invaluable source of underpinning knowledge, essential for anyone beginning a career involving the care and nursing of animals. As such, they include the latest information on legislation and regulations governing health and safety in the veterinary practice and the dispensing of veterinary drugs.

There are also two completely new chapters – one describing the increasingly complex veterinary world and the opportunities for caring and nursing careers within it, and another that discusses the vital skills and knowledge required when interacting with the owners of our patients.
