How clearly they explain things
Shepherd is a cloud PIMS built by veterinarians for small-animal practice. Treatments write to the invoice, estimates become plans, and AI documentation sits inside the same workflow. The product is aimed at companion and groups practices. Integrations or an API are documented. It is sold in the US.
We read what Shepherd publishes and score nine things a practice manager usually needs to know. A high score means they have said more. It does not mean the software is better. See the method.

Ask these before you sign. A low score means we could not find the answer on their public site — not that the product cannot do that thing.
