Dental care is essential to prevent dental and oral health problems in dogs. It is nowadays a routine procedure for most veterinary practices. However, some dental pathologies are sometimes really difficult to diagnose and treat. With almost 400 high-quality images, clear anatomical illustrations, and descriptions of numerous diagnostic tests, this atlas constitutes a reference handbook for a quick visual identification with a clear orientation towards a precise diagnosis and treatment. In short, this is an essential tool for a better understanding of dental pathologies in dogs.
"This Atlas constitutes a new and valuable contribution to the literature of Veterinary Dentistry. It is not a textbook; rather it uses a wide spectrum of well-organized visual material to clearly explain different pathologies in dogs.
The Spanish author has selected well-known international collaborators to contribute to a comprehensive range of high-quality visual material comprising almost 400 pictures arranged on more than 100 pages. The chapters and pages are laid out in a clear and interesting format that communicate information effectively and retain the reader's interest on a voyage of discovery.
The overall organization in terms of etiology, clinical, and diagnostic features together with well-labeled diagrams and illustrations is a format that allows the reader to quickly delve down to whatever level of detail is required. In particular, the juxtaposition of different visual formats provides a multidimensional insight. For example, well-selected clinical photographs and matching radiographs highlight the value of radiography in diagnosis.
The Atlas is both a well-conceived idea and a well-executed project. This one book has such broad coverage of dental pathologies in dogs that it constitutes a uniquely valuable addition to the library of any veterinary surgeon."

This atlas shows Cardiology in a way it had never been done before. The images it contains, of both the healthy heart and the main heart diseases that affect dogs and cats, have a unique technical and artistic value.
Electrocardiography of the dog and cat, 2nd edition provides all the theoretical and practical information necessary to understand and identify rhythm abnormalities. This text will be particularly useful to accurately diagnose complex arrhythmias using precise electrocardiographic criteria that the authors have developed by confirming mechanisms of arrhythmias with intracardiac electrophysiologic studies. This book is a must-have reference for anyone interested in learning the basics of electrocardiography and those who face the challenge of interpreting the most complex arrhythmias in a clinical or research setting.
This new volume of the Pet owner educational atlas collection on the cardiorespiratory system of dogs and cats pursues the same objective as the previous books: helping veterinary surgeons to communicate with pet owners. In addition, as its contents are focused on one single system, the specificity of the topics addressed will also help veterinary practitioners to consolidate and broaden their knowledge.
This new volume of the collection “Small animal surgery” is a selection of the main surgical procedures explained in the previous volumes. The greatest asset of this book is that it is based on high-quality videos, which accompany each of the surgical techniques. These are classified according to the degree of difficulty. This book is the result of the author’s thorough and careful work and is an essential resource both for veterinary professionals in practice and students of veterinary surgery.
Photographs, diagrams and real clinical cases explain, step by step, the methods of approach and resolution for the main surgical interventions in the rectal, anal and perineal zones. An essential work for both practicing professionals and surgery students.
