Shepherd works the way you do
(because it was built by vets like you)
Traditional veterinary practice management software creates unnecessary complexity, friction, and burdens.
Shepherd Veterinary Software streamlines vet practice management — giving you more time, more fulfilled teams, and more opportunity to provide the best care.
Cloud-based software created just for vets
Increased efficiency
Administering treatments automatically adds them to an invoice—and attaches any discharge instructions.
Easy to use
With an intuitive (and, dare we say, beautiful) interface, you'll get the hang of Shepherd on day one—and love it every day after.
Added support
Shepherd is like having an additional team member (or 10) that help you provide the best care—so you can stop taking paperwork home each night.
