ShepherdvsEezyVet
ezyVet: The established cloud alternative with broader administrative depth
Overview
What Shepherd does
Shepherd is a cloud-based veterinary practice information management system covering records, invoicing, inventory and scheduling. It was built by a practising veterinarian, and the design reflects that: the record is organised around the consultation as it actually happens, with charges accruing from treatment rather than being entered separately afterwards. That addresses the most common revenue leak in veterinary practice, where treatment is delivered, the clinician moves to the next patient, and the charge is never raised.
What people use it for
- Practices losing revenue to treatment delivered but never billed
- Clinics replacing on-premise legacy systems
- Independent practices wanting something designed around clinical work rather than administration

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Shepherd.
- Quote-only pricing with no published rates
- A smaller vendor than the established systems, with a correspondingly shorter track record
- Cloud-only, so consultations depend on clinic connectivity

What does Shepherd cost?
Pricing is quoted per practice and not published.
What makes it different from other veterinary systems?
It was designed by a practising vet around the consultation workflow, so charges accrue from recorded treatment rather than being entered as a separate billing step.
Is it cloud-only?
Yes, which removes server maintenance and makes connectivity a dependency.
