pet. Anything beyond a walk may require extra obedience training or equipment — like a specialty tool that prevents your pet from colliding with your bike — but after a few loops around the trail, your pet will be begging to go again. And how can you say no to that face? Plus, this idea isn’t just for dogs. You can find leashes and harnesses for cats, lizards, ferrets, and other pets that love to get fresh air.
WELLNESS AND WHISKERS 3 Ways to Work Out With Your Pet
Going for a Swim
If you have a dog that appears to be more fish than canine, swimming might be the workout for you! Swimming is a joint-friendly cardiovascular exercise that works your entire body. If you’re not one for a dip in the pool, then kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding are great for your arms and core. Meanwhile, your pet can enjoy a relaxing ride or an exciting game of fetch. Just be sure to secure your pet with a life jacket before you and your four- legged friend splash away! If you want a good full-body workout while entertaining your pet, then consider including them in traditional exercises. Entertain your pup with a game of fetch and drop down for a burpee every time it runs away. Balance your bird on your shoulder while you squat and lunge. Mentally and physically stimulate your cat by dragging a string around your body during Russian twists. With a little creativity and a few of your pet’s favorite things, both of you can work up a sweat. Keeping It Traditional
Creating a healthy lifestyle is often easier with support, but if you’re struggling to find someone to join you on your path to wellness, then look to your furry friends instead. Read on for some ways to get active with your pet, and learn more about their wellness and health at PetMD.com.

How to Read Reviews to Find a 5-Star Attorney
Online reviews have become central to our decision-making for nearly everything these days. From choosing the best Bluetooth speaker to choosing the best divorce attorney in town, you are probably the type of person who does their research (including reading online reviews) before choosing a product or service. Here are some pointers for how to assess online reviews when choosing an attorney: 1. Start with Google Reviews. Look for what most people say about how they were treated and how responsive the attorney and their staff were. Do you like what you see? If not, it’s time to check out the next option. 2. Some negative reviews may be okay. Don’t automatically discount a prospect just because they have a few negative reviews. This could be a sign that the attorney has a high case volume (which means they are experienced). If someone has been in practice for many years and seen thousands of cases, a few negative reviews are par for the course. Look at the overall percentage of negative to positive reviews, read all the reviews carefully, and look for trends. 3. Quantity matters. How many good to great reviews does your potential attorney have? Quantity matters quite a bit. When many people are recommending your potential attorney, you can rest
assured. Look for at least 30-50 good to
excellent reviews for your attorney. Less than that and
you are quite possibly choosing someone who is either inexperienced or who tends to leave clients either dissatisfied or indifferent. 4. Check peer ratings. The experience of previous clients is important, but an attorney’s peer rating is equally important. Seeing that an attorney is rated well by their peers is an excellent sign that the attorney is honest, ethical, and skilled. It’s easy for an attorney without scruples to rack up billable hours filing frivolous motions or impeding your case’s progress through the system. The best way to avoid this type of attorney is to look for someone whose peers rate them well.
