/* VetPets guide template 1b ("warmer magazine"), approved by Jacob 2026-11-11.
   Source: Claude Design project f947e815 (guide-template.html?v=b + guide.css).
   Article body only: the store header, newsletter and footer stay as they are.
   Everything is scoped under .vp-guide with a vpg- class prefix so the store's
   theme CSS and this file never touch each other. px units only (the store sets
   its own root font size). Served at /blogs/guides/assets/vp-guide.css.
   Do not edit per guide: guides only fill the markup in guide.html. */
