- Users can easily register with a username and password, with validation checks to enhance security.
User Settings:
- Users can manage their personal information, including email addresses and passwords, through a dedicated settings page.
- Pet registration functionality allows users to add and manage their pets, ensuring that appointments can only be made for registered pets.
Informative Pages:
- Doctors Page: Displays a list of available doctors at the clinic, complete with photographs and short bios to help users make informed choices.
- Access Page: Provides directions to the clinic, including a Google Maps embed for easy navigation and public transportation information.
- Hours Page: Clearly shows the clinic's hours of operation, which are dynamically retrieved from the database.
Appointment Booking:
- Users can select their preferred doctor and pet from intuitive drop-down menus, simplifying the booking process.
- An availability chart displays the next five days segmented into thirty-minute intervals, visually indicating availability with color-coded indicators:
  - Circle (◯): Lots of availability
  - Triangle (△): Limited availability
  - X (✕): No availability
Appointment Management:
- Users can view their upcoming appointments, with options to cancel or delete them as needed.
- Past appointments are also displayed for reference, allowing users to keep track of their veterinary history.

This project showcases an integration of web development technologies, demonstrating proficiency in Python programming, use of the Flask framework, database management, and front-end design. The application not only enhances the efficiency of veterinary practices but also significantly improves the client experience by providing a seamless and user-friendly platform for managing pet healthcare appointments.
