"A lot of in-depth information in 1 text, including some not readily available elsewhere. A number of topics included are contemporary, which increases its value for toxicologists who are not specifically veterinary toxicologists." - Marion Ehrich, PhD, DABT, in Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association

"A useful source of information for the veterinary clinician, student, and toxicologist. A nice addition to any veterinarian’s library and is well worth the price." - The Canadian Veterinary Journal "...this is the one text needed to thoroughly prepare future veterinarians on the newest approaches for diagnosing poisoning cases in all animals." - Paul A.
