Tasks for the Veterinary Assistant gives detailed instructions on how to perform the tasks of the veterinary assistant. It is an ideal everyday reference for veterinary support staff and for students in veterinary assisting programs.

The book is based on a list of recommended skills developed by the Association of Veterinary Technician Educators (AVTE).

Step-by-step instructions explain how to prepare for and perform the necessary tasks, and the concise format lets readers quickly identify the information they need. The spiral binding allows the book to lie flat on a workspace for easy reference during a procedure.

A back-of-book CD-ROM contains video clips that demonstrate the tasks.
