- W.F. Young, Inc. is a privately held American corporation that has sold animal care products since 1892. These brands and products are sold online, in farm, feed, and tack shops, and pet retailers. The corporation was founded by Wilbur Fenelon Young and Mary Ida Young and has been family owned and run by the Young family since 1892. Its headquarters are in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. The company is best known for its Absorbine line of rubefacients (whose medical effectiveness remains disputed), originally formulated as a horse liniment, but later reformulated for humans and marketed as Absorbine Jr., which was intensely promoted via a televised advertisement campaign aimed at the end consumer. Over time, the company has also acquired other liniment brands including Bigeloil. In 2012, W.F. Young, Inc. underwent a strategic reorganization of the business to focus exclusively on animal care. They continued to grow their equine care product lines and expanded their offerings into the livestock and companion pet categories. With this change, W.F. Young divested itself of its human healthcare division. In 2013, DSE Healthcare took on the Absorbine Jr. brand. (en)
