Reviews

This book is a delight. It is beautifully illustrated and concisely written. Not only does it provide much practical information but it makes a positive contribution to the discipline. (Veterinary Record, March 2010) The editors and authors have done an excellent job of summarizing current theories of hair follicle development and function and presenting the most current information on hair loss disorders affecting domestic animals... This is the first book to present such detailed information... As such, it is a much needed textbook. (Doody's Reviews, April 2010)
