Shepherd: AI Visibility Report
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about veterinary practice software, Shepherd ranks #2 of 15, a Visibility Score of 48 in Veterinary Practice Software .
These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.
Solid vet software contender, but first pick is nearly zero.
Where it wins. Shepherd lands in 44% of AI conversations about veterinary practice software, which keeps it visible against a 15-product field. Sitting at rank 4 means the models consistently consider it a legitimate option.
Where it loses. A 2.8% first-pick rate means buyers almost never hear its name as the opening recommendation, and the enterprise segment produces no AI mentions at all, leaving that buyer type entirely to competitors like ezyVet and Cornerstone.
AI-generated analysis of the September 2026 measurements.
Being named is not the same as being recommended. Each mention is graded endorsed (a strong pick), listed (a neutral option), or caveated (named with a reservation).
