W.F. Young was founded in 1892 by Mary Ida and her husband, Wilbur Fenelon Young. The family-owned and operated company manufactures and distributes high-quality and trusted animal health and wellness products for over 130 years.

A 2022 winner of the National Animal Supplement Council Visionary Award, the company is recognized as a worldwide leader in innovative, specialized animal health care brands – including Absorbine Veterinary Liniment, UltraShield fly control, ShowSheen grooming products, Silver Honey skin care products and Hooflex hoof care, as well as The Missing Link nutritional supplements.

In March, W.F. Young launched Honest to Goodness Plant Snacks, a unique line of functional, plant-based treats for dogs. Honest to Goodness harnesses the natural power of wholesome fruits and vegetables, plus advanced nutrients, and contains no synthetic additives, fillers or by-products. Made with sustainable, responsibly sourced ingredients sourced in the U.S., each variety contains one to three ingredients at functional levels, a science-based postbiotic and marine microalgae oil for overall health support.
