━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━
1. Purchase and download your files from Etsy (Purchases and reviews).
2. Print at "Actual size", or import a PDF into your tablet app.
3. Study one topic at a time: read the study pages, then label the dog or the dental chart from memory.
4. Print the flashcards double-sided, drill a deck a day, and check yourself with the practice pages and the answers at the back.

━━ PLEASE NOTE ━━
• A study aid, not veterinary advice: always follow your program, your instructors and your supervising veterinarian. It prints no drug amounts or dose rates, no lab or vital-sign values and no vaccine timetables; the write-in tables are for the values your own program teaches.
• Drug names are generic only. An independent design with no ties to any school, exam board or test-prep company.
• For personal use only. Please do not share, sell or redistribute the files.
• Colors may vary slightly between screens and printers.
• Because this is a digital product, returns and exchanges are not accepted.
• If anything is wrong with your files, message me and I'll help right away.
