  <!--
    NOTE: Dynamic routes below need server-generated entries.
    Once deployed, generate a /sitemap-dynamic.xml from your backend that
    enumerates /product/:id, /pet-care-tips/:slug, /gallery/:slug.
    Then add a <sitemap> index file pointing to both.

    Example backend endpoint: GET /api/sitemap
    Returns all published product/tip/gallery slugs → write sitemap entries.
