Veterinarian Founded
In the early 1990’s our founder and Veterinarian, Dr. Robert Collette, was concerned by recurring health issues in his clients. Pets were coming in with chronic hip & joint pain, dry itchy skin, digestion issues and an overall lack of energy. He recognized that commercially processed kibble was not providing the nutrition needed for pets to thrive and thus created The Missing Link superfood supplements.
Driven by Purpose. Guided by Science.
We believe in a world where all animals (and their humans) can live life to the fullest – a world where love is measured in tail wags, trail rides and dinner bowls licked clean. That’s why we harness the latest scientific discoveries to bring you functional, nutritious solutions to help your animals look and feel their best.
Parent Company W.F. Young, Since 1892
Determined to find a better way of caring for their horses, Mary Ida and her husband Wilbur Young establish W.F. Young. Their revolutionary first product, Absorbine® Veterinary Liniment, lays the foundation for generations of innovation to come.
Building on Mary Ida’s legacy of caring for horses, W.F. Young launches a line of high-quality pet care solutions, including grooming and flea & tick prevention products for dogs. Because of an alignment of values and purpose, shortly after this time W.F. Young merged with The Missing Link.
