What the engines said about each
For a new, independently owned small-animal clinic, I’d put Shepherd first on your demo list, with IDEXX Neo as the main comparison.
One sentence per engine at most, chosen by a fixed rule: the first full sentence naming a checked vendor, read in run order. Every answer in full: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22907695.
What to do with this
IDEXX (Cornerstone, Neo) claims its record, free, and runs the free check on its own name. The widest gap is on “best vet software for a multi location emergency hospital”: that is the question to fix with Answer Repair, $490.
