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 streamlines vet practice management — giving you more time, more fulfilled teams, and more opportunity to provide the best care.
“The ease of use for the full functionality of this software is incredible. I've used software at so many clinics where the program is so glitchy and complex they are only using about 10% of the functions (meaning wasting money on program function they don't use) Shepherd is robust and so easy to use every component of the program!”
Capterra Review
“The software itself is fantastic alone, but the customer service is top notch. Transitioning from our previous software to this one was as simple as it could be.”
Capterra Review
“I would 10/10 recommend Shepherd! We tried a different software and it was horrible. My team was skeptical of anything cloud based and not having paper charts but now we would never want to use anything else. Shepherd is so easy and the support group really cares and are always willing to help.”
