Dr. Trent V. Murphy, D.V.M

Veterinary medicine has always been a large part of Dr. Murphy’s life. From the time he was a small child, he spent many hours working with his father, Dr. Vance Murphy, D.V.M at Clear Lake City Veterinary Clinic. However, once he graduated from Texas A&M with his degree in veterinary medicine, Dr. Murphy had the opportunity to work along side his father as a colleague. Dr. Murphy brings with him ten years of experience from various Houston area small animal practices. 

Dr. Murphy and his wife Trish, who owns and operates the Bayside Bed and Biscuit next door, live in Clear Lake Shores with their son, Ben and soon a new little princess.   They have a yellow lab, Tank and Iggy the Iguana .  Dr. Murphy enjoys martial arts; in fact he is a second degree black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do. He’s an avid wind surfer, bicyclist, and spends his down time practicing with kettle bells.

Dr. Dale Shepherd, D.V.M

Dr. Shepherd came to Bayside Animal Hospital with nine years of veterinary experience. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Texas A&M in 1996, Dr. Shepherd began working for a mixed animal practice (small and large animals) and has since worked in several Houston area practices. Dr Shepherd, his wife Mary and their two beautiful daughters share their home with Cooter, a faithful Weimaraner/Lab companion whom Dr. Shepherd is rarely seen without, and Sassy, a Domestic Long Haired Cat. In his off time, Dr. Shepherd can be found salt water fishing. He is happy to be an important part of Bayside Animal Hospital.
 

Cooter Brown

He’s big, He’s brown, He’s laid back….He’s Cooter Brown, aka Dr. Shepherd’s dog. You can usually see him following Dr. Shepherd’s every footstep or up front getting a nice rump scratch. Cooter’s been a faithful friend of Dr. Shepherd for nearly eight years, and a professional Supervisor at Bayside for a few years now. Oh, but don’t plan on catching a glimpse of him on Thursdays and Fridays, those are his days off!
