A small animal clinical practitioner for 25-plus years, Pattengale also developed veterinary assistant programs in California, one of which was recognized by the state's education department as a model vocational program. Her second edition textbook provides a step-by-step guide to the fundamental principles of veterinary care for veterinary assistant and technician students and for staff within veterinary practices. The material has been expanded throughout, reflecting the growth of services since publication of the first edition, and also includes a new chapter covering the basic language, mathematics, and science skills needed for working in the veterinary environment. The CD from the first edition has been replaced by the printed competencies and an "additional resources" section at the end of each chapter. Illustrated with b&w diagrams and photographs.
