“It is rare to come across a book that works as both a reference tool for those with rehabilitation training and an instructional tool for novices. (…) I heartily recommend this book. I believe it should be on every veterinarian’s bookshelf and should be used until it falls apart, at which time they then should buy a new one.” – Reviewed by Laura Earle-Imre, DVM, JAVMA, Vol. 226, No. 12, June 15, 2005
