Proper handling and restraint are crucial for the well-being of captive animals, enabling them to receive examinations, grooming, and treatments that enhance their quality of life. The primary objective of this book is to equip future or current veterinarians, veterinary technologists, technicians/nurses, and assistants with the skills necessary to handle animals safely and gain the trust of both animals and their owners. By doing so, they will be able to educate owners on proper animal handling techniques, reducing the risk of physical harm or the transmission of infectious diseases.

This comprehensive handling book surpasses its predecessors and competitors in its coverage of domestic animals and the depth of its handling and restraint methods. It offers unparalleled information on the potential zoonoses that can arise during animal handling, particularly when dealing with seemingly healthy animals. The author emphasizes that each animal is unique, and each handling environment possesses its own advantages and disadvantages. To ensure safe, humane, and efficient animal handling, practical knowledge of the species' normal behavior is essential. This topic is thoroughly explored in each species-based chapter, covering proper handling practices for domestic household, laboratory, farm, and ranch animals.

By completing this book, practitioners and students will acquire a solid foundation in the fundamental aspects of veterinary medicine: the safe handling of animals. The author's expertise and practical insights make this book an invaluable resource for anyone involved in animal care and welfare.
