Founder Dr. Cindy Barnes with canine patient

Veterinarian designed software

Shepherd is founded by Cindy Barnes, DVM, CVSMT, and is designed to work the way a veterinary practice naturally operates.

"I was spending hours after closing on my medical records and knew there had to be a better way. So I created Shepherd Veterinary Software. Shepherd's automations complete records for you as you process your patients. No more hours of paperwork at the end of your shift because it's already done!"

Switching to Shepherd will be the most rewarding decision you make. Find out what users are saying about Shepherd.

The onboarding process for Shepherd was seamless. We have been 100% on paper for over 40 years, and Kate helped break up the overwhelming thought of transitioning into phases which helped ease everyone's mind. I can not recommend Shepherd enough to anyone in the Veterinary industry.

The SOAPs are so easy and straightforward. Everything is laid out well, flows very well, and is how we would fill it out on paper. It's also great finding files when you want them!

5/5 stars on Capterra

“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!”

Shepherd has a very intuitive interface. I think it's very easy for new users to pick up.

Dr. Katie Lambden

The responsiveness from the Shepherd team is a huge positive factor. Sometimes I feel like my team is the only one around because we message, and within five minutes, it's a familiar picture that we are used to.

Dr. Michelle Meyer, Vista Veterinary Hospital

I think one of the biggest things I appreciate about Shepherd is the feedback, and the responsiveness we have seen over the last year is just phenomenal. I really think everybody cares, and they try to make a difference to make this the best software.
