About Vet

I am a small animal veterinarian with over 22 years of experience. I love being a part of the unique bond between pets and their families!

PLEASE NOTE: I, and other Texas Veterinarians, are unable to prescribe your pet a prescription due to the Texas Practice Act. Under the Texas Veterinary Practice Act: a "Veterinary Patient Client Relationship" must be established before a veterinarian can lawfully prescribe or dispense medications for Telehealth appointments.” I am NOT able to prescribe medications via telehealth unless I have examined your pet in person within the last 12 months*

I attended veterinary school at Colorado State University. I moved back to Texas soon after graduating. My husband, my three kids, and I enjoy camping, traveling, outdoor time, and remodeling houses. I would love to help you and your pet!

We booked an appointment because my cat had an upper respiratory infection so she was super helpful with reviewing her symptoms and figuring out a solution so we could start helping our girl feel better sooner!

The Dr was nice and courteous but couldn’t help us with our dog. If I would have read the limitations of what she could and could not do, I wouldn’t have wasted my time and money. I didn’t schedule the appointment to be told “You need to take your dog to a Vet”. Again, the Dr was very kind and courteous as she told me she couldn’t help. My bad for thinking this was an option after hours and on weekends.

If appropriate for the situation, I’ll schedule with Dr Shepard for all future vet visits - for all my animals! I love the on time, simple and very easy appointment process and the appointment felt more personal than in a clinic. It was much easier on my aging Golden than a 45 min drive to a local vet office and he had no idea he was being “seen” by a stranger because she was on video! The appointment was thorough and lasted less than 15 min! No barking dogs in a waiting room or anxiety when placed in a small room with vet techs coming in and out. I am impressed by the entire process and recommend anyone who is tired of waiting weeks for an appointment and having to spend extra time driving, to try a virtual appt!
