Review quotes

Graham Duncanson, The Veterinary Record, February 2005
"There is a large amount of information readily available in this book that will be very useful to the experienced practitioner and equally, with chapters such as the one on equine dental equipment, useful to those starting out and will save hours of planning and prior reading. This is a well balanced book, which is totally up to date. A must for all practitioners carrying out equine work."


"Surely must be the definitive reference book for all practitioners carrying out equine dentistry... Practices would be well advised to buy this book for their new graduates..." Veterinary Times Vol 36 No 7
