Proper handling and restraint are essential to the welfare of captive animals, allowing them to be examined, groomed and treated in ways that contribute to their optimum quantity and quality of life. The aim of Animal Handling and Physical Restraint is to prepare future or current veterinarians and veterinary technologists, technicians/nurses, and assistants to be able to handle animals more safety and gain the confidence of animals and their owners. In turn, they will be able to instruct owners in proper animal handling methods, reducing the risk of physical injury or mutual infectious diseases. 408 p.
