Veterinary Clinic & Pet Care Website
A hand-drawn dog silhouette’s ears merged into a single blob that read as a bear, not a dog — caught in a screenshot, not in the SVG source, and rebuilt from scratch rather than patched.

About this project
A five-page site for a fictional practice, "Fernwood Veterinary & Pet Care." Like the other Bootstrap design templates in this catalogue, this is a pure visual-design product — no backend, no database. The register is warm, playful and trustworthy, deliberately differentiated from this catalogue’s dental-clinic sibling: a warm cream page background instead of white, soft sage green and warm terracotta/coral instead of teal and blue, and Fredoka + Figtree — a font pairing checked against all 22 other templates in this catalogue and confirmed used nowhere else. Zero stock photography anywhere: a hand-drawn paw-print logomark, a sitting dog-and-cat hero illustration, a tiled animal-silhouette section divider, and dog/cat/rabbit/bird hand-drawn icon accents are all inline SVG; every "person" on the team page is a colour-circle initials avatar.
One real illustration bug surfaced only once actually rendered, not from reading the SVG source: the first version of the hero’s dog silhouette used two ellipses rotated for ears, which merged into a single blob above the head once drawn — reading as a bear or a cloud, not a dog. It was caught by reviewing a screenshot and fixed by rebuilding the ears as proper teardrop-shaped paths attached to a repositioned head, re-screenshotted to confirm it now reads clearly.
Two bug classes that have independently hit five-plus sibling templates in this catalogue — a `.row.g-5` gutter overflowing a default `.container`, and Bootstrap’s own `.table` component painting an opaque white background onto cells (breaking light text on a dark section) — were avoided from the start here rather than found afterward, and both avoidances were verified live rather than just assumed correct.
What you will learn
- Build a warm, playful-but-trustworthy five-page veterinary clinic site on Bootstrap 5 without hand-editing the framework itself
- Draw simple, legible animal-silhouette SVG illustrations and catch a specific illustration that reads as the wrong animal once actually rendered
- Proactively avoid two bug classes (gutter overflow, Bootstrap’s opaque table-cell background) that have independently hit five-plus sibling templates, verified rather than assumed
- Check contrast against a gradient’s actual rendered midpoint, not just its two endpoints
- Run a real multi-breakpoint overflow check and a real WCAG contrast check instead of eyeballing either
Before you start
- HTML and CSS fundamentals — this is a design product, not a framework tutorial
- Any modern browser. No Node, no build step, no server required to use it
- Comfortable editing raw HTML/CSS directly, since there is no CMS or config file

Frequently asked
What was the dog-illustration bug?
The hero’s original dog silhouette used two rotated ellipses for ears, which merged into a single blob above the head once actually rendered — reading as a bear or a cloud rather than a dog. It was caught by reviewing a screenshot, not by reading the SVG source, and fixed by rebuilding the ears as proper teardrop-shaped paths attached to a repositioned head.
How is this different from the catalogue’s dental clinic template?
Deliberately, on every visual axis: a warm cream background instead of white, sage green and terracotta/coral instead of teal and blue, and a completely different font pairing (Fredoka + Figtree, checked against all 22 other templates and used nowhere else). Pet-themed hand-drawn SVG illustrations replace the dental template’s tooth-mark branding throughout.
Can I use this for a real veterinary or pet-care practice?
Yes — replace the fictional Fernwood branding, services, team and copy with your own (the README’s "Customizing this" table lists every spot). The booking form has no backend wired up; connecting it to a real scheduling system or inbox is left to you. The Educational licence covers learning and coursework; a Commercial licence is available for shipping it as a real practice’s site.
