The MiniVet Guide has honestly been one of the best purchases I’ve made during vet school.
As a final-year student navigating rotations, the days can be long, unpredictable, and mentally exhausting well this has been a consistent safety net – always there in my pocket when I’m unsure or need a quick refresher.
It breaks things down in a really clear and approachable way, covering common presenting conditions with enough detail to guide decision-making, but without overwhelming you with textbook level depth.
Helped me in consults, shadowing on surgery, and prepping for exams. Have recommended to my colleagues many time.

This little book kept me sane during exam season. It breaks things down simply without dumbing it down, and I used it constantly during revision and even now during clinical placements. If you’re a vet student, just get it. You’ll thank yourself later.

The MiniVet Guide was a total lifesaver during my rotations. It’s compact enough to fit in my scrub pocket, but packed with so much useful info. The flowcharts were especially helpful when I needed quick guidance in a consult. Honestly don’t know how I would’ve gotten through my final year without it!

Just started my first job as a small animal vet and bought this book, it hasn’t left my side. It gives just enough info to jog my memory without overwhelming me, also its great when I need a quick refresher on the fly. Feels like having a mini mentor in my pocket.

Love it….What I love most is how concise and user-friendly it is. It doesn’t waffle – just the essentials in a logical, easy-to-follow format. The decision-making flowcharts are genius. If you’re in practice or still a student, you need this book in your life.

This book is honestly amazing – I’ve been using it since almost the start of my veterinary degree and it’s definitely my most used book. It literally has pretty much everything you need to know for small animal VIVAs and integration exams, and really helps with your base understanding in first and second year. I’m about to enter my final clinical year and I’m sure it will be invaluable for years to come!

I joined the meat industry soon after graduating and last year, at age 51, developed a very late interest in dog and cat matters, just to keep the old grey matter ticking over. A final year vet student told me about the mini vet guide so l bought a copy. I’ve spent many hours since poring over the contents and hope to do a little volunteer work in the coming years. I wish the book was around 30 years ago – it would have been better than studying my scribbled foolscap lecture notes!

The best resource ever. I have used this book so often that I’m now just about to purchase my third copy of it as I’ve worn out the pages from using it every single day. I graduated 3 years ago and am still in love with the book. It’s handy and has got everything you need to know in easy to understand descriptions and step by step diagnosis, management and treatment plans for endless diseases!

This book is really amazing, whether you need to know something concretely, or just read through it out of interest, you’ll definitely be amazed by its simple yet effective way of giving you exactly what you need, as easy and as fast as possible.
I just received it and I cant stop reading, its just too addictive to put aside. Its so much valuable information, put together in such an incredibly compact way, you’ll be amazed with every page!
If you are a vet or especially vet student, this one is just the right thing for you.

This is basically my go to primary resource as a busy small animal veterinarian, it’s got the information I need to handle 95% of all cases that walk in through the door. The drug charts are such a wonderful time saver!
