It should feel like part of the team.\n\nShepherd is second-nature, workflow-first practice information management software that runs in the background, keeping everything in sync while you move through the day. \n\nBuilt and overseen by veterinary professionals, it reflects how clinics actually operate. Features are guided by a Director of Veterinary Medicine — something no other PIMS has.\n\nAs your team documents care, Shepherd connects the rest automatically, so there are fewer clicks, missed charges, and things to double-check.\n\nIt’s intuitive enough to learn quickly, powerful enough to scale, and with vet experience at every level, it’s designed around how real practices operate (not how software thinks they should).\n\nWhen you need help, you’ll talk to a clinically trained support team that understands your day and responds fast.\n\nThis is software that fits into your workflow. Not the other way around.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/b4217e21-f41f-42d7-9d35-2fbe9f8f2813.png","url":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/172485/shepherd-app","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/172485/shepherd-app#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.capterra.com.sg/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":87,"ratingValue":4.7},"offers":{"price":"299","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"name":"Instinct Science","description":"Instinct is the veterinary industry's first practice management software with natively integrated digital treatment sheets so you can keep track of patient history and treat your patients from one place.
