A Regional Approach to the Dissection of the Dog (3rd Edition)

About this book

This guide introduces a novel, clinically-oriented approach to dog dissection, now enhanced through the interactive ActiveBook format. Designed for veterinary students, residents, and practitioners, it moves beyond traditional systemic methods to focus on a regional “how, what, and why” methodology. This approach emphasizes structures with clear clinical relevance, preparing students for real-world practice where applied anatomical knowledge is crucial.

The ActiveBook brings this guide to life with media-rich, layered visuals and engagement tools perfect for today’s learners.

Developed from decades of teaching experience, the guide deliberately reduces emphasis on minor, surgically unimportant blood vessels, highlighting that collateral circulation is extensive. It also includes optional orthopedic dissection exercises, like mock amputations, to bridge the gap between foundational anatomy and clinical application. This resource serves as both an essential dissection manual for students and a valuable reference for experienced veterinarians seeking a practical perspective on canine anatomy.
