| Bradenton Vet Has Sunscreen For Dogs
BRADENTON - A Bradenton veterinarian is launching the first pet sunscreen that is compliant with U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards. Michael C. Fleck plans to release Epi-Pet Sun Protector Spray later this month. The product, designed for dogs and horses, is one of several skin care products for pets that Fleck has developed and brought to market in the past two years. The sunscreen is not designed for cats, but Fleck is developing a feline-friendly sun protector. In addition to the Epi-Pet Sun Protector Spray, the Epi-Pet line includes a Cleansing Agent Shampoo, Multi-Functional Skin Enrichment Spray and an Electrolyte Replacement powder. All of the products, except for the sunscreen, may be used on dogs, cats or horses.
Oasis and 31 more businesses certified as 'green"
For Wendy-Rae Johnson, co-owner of a new salon, going green wasn't difficult. It just took time -- about four months. Oasis Hair and Skin Care, which opened in September at 1664 Soquel Ave. in Santa Cruz, became the first salon in the county to be certified as a "green" business. A record 32 businesses will receive their certificates at a ceremony at 10 a.m. Tuesday hosted by the county's Board of Supervisors. Johnson, of Boulder Creek, co-owns Oasis with Pamela Freitas of Watsonville. Johnson, 47, who has 30 years experience, focuses on hair. Freitas, 56, an esthetician for eight years, specializes in facials and makeup. Johnson uses sulfate-free shampoo and collects hair clippings to be turned into mats to soak up oil spills. She chose bamboo and paint low in volatile organic compounds for interior improvements at the salon.
