The first edition of the book Medical History and Physical
Examination in Companion Animals has clearly filled a
need. Following publication of the Dutch first edition
in 1990, there have been five additional printings.
Although the book was originally intended for Dutchspeaking
regions, it soon became apparent that there
was also an interest in other languages for this detailed
description of the ‘tools’ of veterinarians for companion
animals. This has resulted in the publication of translations
in German, English, Spanish, and Japanese.
