Anatomy essential! - By: Elizabeth, 08 Apr 2008 
Essential for anatomy, takes a bit of getting used to but once I did I used it for all my anatomy revision. Definitely recommended!
A very good reference text - By: Jim, 03 Oct 2006 
I have found this particular textbook to be incredibly helpful when referring back to different aspects of veterinary anatomy. Although it lacks the detail to provide "all" of the anatomy you may wish to know or are interested in, this book is excellent for quick reference when you need to refresh your memory or even when learning from scratch.
This is by no means a book which contains everything you want or need to know about veterinary anatomy. It is best usedin conjunction with another text. I found "guide to the dissection of the dog" combined with Dyce was excellent when looking at canine anatomy. This is mainly because I found dyce lacking when looking at blood vessels & nerves, which the other book covers excellently. I found Dyce to be very helpful during the preclinical part of my veterinary studies & would recommend it to any 1st & 2nd year students who find anatomy a little tricky.
A bit like Marmite... - By: antoinette, 13 Jun 2006 
My friends are divided; a group of us cannot stand Dyce & avoid it like the plague, & the rest adore it & keep it with them at all times. I personally have never found Dyce to be that useful, especially not at revision time! I find it is difficult to extract information from & always felt slightly dissatsified with the content, & felt the need to use other books to supplement. I really think it's best to have a read through thisin the library (if possible) before buying. However, it is very rare that there will be one book that solves all your veterinary dilemmas, & I regularly use at least three books on any one topic when making notes & revising, so you can't disregard Dyce entirely, as there are chapters which I have found partially useful.
A bit superficial, but gives a nice overview - By: , 10 Oct 2002 Frankly, I found Dyce a bit superficial, especially when it came to the locomotor system. I always wanted to know MORE after reading, so I had to consult other books - especially when it came to interspecies differences. I felt that there was always something *missing*. But many of the drawings are very good, & it's easy to read. If you use this book along with good lecture notes & consult other books - such as Guide to the Dissection of the Dog - you should pass Anatomy:)
A must for all veterinary students! - By: , 18 May 2002 From the first page to the last this book is packed with relevant information on all aspects of veterinary anatomy. Separate chapters on head, thorax, abdomen & limbs of all species are included along with general chapters reviewing comparative anatomy of systems (eg. nervous system). A book to learn from & an essential reference book to be able to look back on. Excellent!
