    "This book is an essential text for anyone working with South American camelids. It is the first, all-around camelidspecific text that guides the clinician in their approach to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting these animals. It brings together the vast amount of knowledge that has accumulated over the past 20 years or so, into an accessible format." Reviewed by Claire E. Whitehead on behalf of Veterinary Record, July 2015

    This is definitely a resource book, probably will come in handy in the future. Very health related and not a lot of behavioral information. Although there is a little on herd management.

    Pretty heavy duty and oriented towards a veterinary audience but a good reference for those looking to understand the intricacies of camelids and the various diseases that can affect them. Lots of pictures...

    I am a vet and an owner of llamas and guanacoes and this book was recommended by members of the British Camelid Veterinary Society. It is packed with very useful information for keeping my animals healthy. I am delighted with it.

    I am new to alpacas; just welcomed my first two last week. I found this book to be a great professional reference that I know I will be referring to for years to come. Excellent information, although I may not be conducting surgeries, haha, I still found that section great as the vet in my area does not have much experience with alpacas so I should be able to reference this book if needed. Perfect book to have in your camelid collection!

    Well illustrated, and easier to read than most veterinary texts on camelids. Its nice to have a more up-to-date comprehensive volume in our library, as most of our camelid veterinary-focused books were written over 20 years ago.

    This is brilliant if you are a serious keeper, carer and breeder of alpacas. All the sensible stuff you need to know and all the detail you can't find anywhere else. Not for dummies and not for those wanting cute pictures but if you want a successful healthy and happy flock then its right for you.
